A switching assembly is for an electrical switching apparatus. The electrical switching apparatus has a base. The switching assembly includes a printed circuit board structured to be coupled to the base, at least one switch mechanically coupled to and electrically connected with the printed circuit board, and an actuation member structured to be coupled to the base. The actuation member has at least one actuation portion having a button portion and an arm portion extending from the button portion. The arm portion is structured to engage and actuate the switch. The actuation portion is structured to move between a FIRST position and a SECOND position. When the actuation portion moves from the FIRST position toward the SECOND position, the button portion moves the arm portion toward engagement with the switch in order to actuate the switch.
