The invention relates to an electrical switching device, in particular a position switch, limit switch, microswitch or other limit stop switch, having at least one housing and one or more electrical switch contacts arranged in the housing, the housing having at least one actuation opening, via which the switch contact(s) can be actuated mechanically from a position outside the housing, the switching device, as a further separate component, having at least one actuator, which has at least one actuation ram that is longitudinally displaceable in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the actuator, the actuator, in a number of different rotation angle positions with regard to the longitudinal axis, being securable to the housing of the switching device in a manner secured against rotation, in such a way that, in the event of external actuation of the actuation ram, the switch contact(s) can be mechanically actuated, a strap being provided as securing means to mechanically secure the actuator to the housing of the switching device, which strap can be slid over at least part of the actuator and at least part of the housing of the switching device.
