Switch contact subassembly having a switch contact bridge and contact bridge retention member

A switch contact subassembly, comprising:

• a switch contact bridge having a resilient element on which the switch contact bridge is resiliently supported counter to a switching direction,
• a contact bridge retention member having a securing base for securing to an actuation member and having at least one retention member,
• the resilient element being retained in a pre-tensioned state between the securing base and the switch contact bridge and the switch contact bridge pressing in a resilient manner against the retention member in a rest position (R) and the retention member and the securing base being constructed integrally with each other;
• wherein the contact bridge retention member is constructed so as to have two retention members which rest on the securing base, the retention members being arranged so as to be opposite each other in a transverse direction of the switch contact bridge, to the at least one retention member has at least two stops for the switch contact bridge spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction (L) of the switch contact bridge.
