1. A remotely controlled switch with receptacle termination assembly comprising:

  • a housing for providing a support having at least a first section and second section;

    a nonlinear motion toggle switch located in said first section of said housing and having a one piece of movable activator for making and breaking an electrical connection between at least first and second electrical contacts;

    an actuator for actuating said movable activator of said nonlinear motion toggle switch, said actuator having a movable section, said actuator having a body containing said movable section, said movable section rotatable about a pivot axis, said movable section having at least a first end;

    a connection element for directly connecting said movable section of said actuator to said movable activator of said nonlinear motion toggle switch;

    an electrical receptacle located in said second section of said housing, said receptacle having at least a first electrical prong which has a first end connected to said first electrical contact in said nonlinear motion toggle switch;

    said connection element being an inner connector of a cable having an outer sheath containing said inner connector, a first end of said cable having said outer sheath removably attached to said body and having said inner connector removably connected to said first end of said movable section, and a second end of said cable being connected to said nonlinear motion toggle switch, the outer sheath being removably attached to said first section of said housing and the inner connector being removable attached to said movable activator;

    wherein, when said movable section of said actuator is moved, said movable activator of said nonlinear motion toggle switch changes from at least one switch position to another switch position, thereby producing a connection or a disconnection between said first and second contacts of said nonlinear motion toggle switch.
