A switching device includes first and second fixed switching contacts and a movable switching contact. The first and second fixed switching contacts are connected to first and second device terminals and are arranged next to one another in such a way that their contact surfaces point in the same direction. The movable switching contact can be moved between a closed position and an open position. The first and second fixed switching contacts and the movable switching contact form an arrangement of electrical conductors which are arranged substantially parallel to one another. At least one of the fixed switching contacts has an elongated contact surface which extends in the direction of current flow. Electrodynamic forces act on the fixed conductors and the movable conductor, which are directed in such a way that the conductors attract each other, i.e., the switching contacts tend to close.
