Description:  1. A device which completes, interrupts, or changes the connections in one or more electrical circuit(s) by electrical, electronic, manual or mechanical actuation, or as a result of changes in ambient temperature. It includes items consisting of individually separable switches which are physically interlocked (e.g., one button returns when the other is pushed), which have a common actuator, or are electrically connected. Excludes: items which perform the same function by self-produced thermal action, such as relays, circuit breakers, fuses, or motor starters.
