The present invention relates to a switching device (1) for opening and closing a load circuit, in particular in an electric vehicle, having at least one switch contact (4a) which can be moved from an open position (A) into a closed position (B) and which is held at a distance from a counter-contact (5) in the open position (A) and is in electrically conductive abutment with the counter-contact (5) in the closed position (B). The invention further relates to a method for switching a load circuit, in particular in an electric vehicle, at least one switch contact (4a) being moved from an open position (A) into a closed position (B) and thereby being brought into electrically conductive contact with a counter-contact (5). In order to provide the most compact, light, cost-effective and reliable switching and separation unit for load currents, it is provided according to the invention that, in a safety position (C), the at least one switch contact (4a) is held separated from the counter- contact (5) in order to protect the load circuit. |
