Positive Opening Contacts:

 A normally closed (N.C.) contact element coupled with the switch actuator via a no resilient (non-elastic) member so that full contact opening is obtained when the actuator is moved through the direct (positive) opening travel by applying a direct (positive) opening force against the N.C. moveable contact assembly. The contact element will shear open in the event of sticking contacts or broken springs.
