SWITCHING DEVICE WITH CERAMIC/GLASS EYELETS

Electrical switching devices that can have a housing cup having an opening and a header covering and making a seal with said cup. Internal components are included within the housing, with the internal components configured to change the state of the switching device from a closed state and an open state in response to input. The closed state allows current flow through said device and the open state interrupts current flow through said device. A plurality of fixed contact are included that are electrically connected to said internal components for connection to external circuitry, wherein the the fixed contact pass though the header with a portion exposed above the header. A plurality of glass/ceramic eyelets are included, each of which is mounted to a respective one of the fixed contacts on the exposed portion of its one of the fixed contacts. Each of the eyelets can be radially symmetric about its one of the fixed contacts, with the eyelets covering less than all of the header.
