The contact plate has a tongue with a free end, which contacts the other terminal when the circuit is ON, and is separated from the other terminal when the circuit is OFF. An operation member has a first end movably engaged with the slot and a second end connected with the contact plate. A positioning member having a first end pivotally connected to an inside of the body and a second end biasing the first end of the operation member. Under the current overload condition, the switch member is pivoted by a torsion spring to the OFF position.
