A switching apparatus includes a support member having a plurality of connector terminals linearly arrayed along a side thereof. A common electrically conductive terminal is disposed in parallel relationship with the linearly arrayed connector terminals. The common terminal is spaced from the connector terminals so that a plurality of open areas are defined for receiving a connector member which is moved by a movement mechanism to connect a selected one of the connector terminals to the common terminal. The connector element is so disposed that the making and breaking of its engagement with the connector terminals is offset from the line along which the connector terminals are arrayed so that electrically conductive bridges are not formed between electrical conductors connected to adjacent ones of the connector terminals.
