all the contactors I found that could handle 40 amps were costly ($75-80), so I wired 4 12 amp relays in paralell. they are working great so far (2 months), and only cost 3 buck each.
or try this site

hope there are some other opinions out there. Roger

Have you tried the local electrical supply shops?
Not Lowe's, but a
Real
electrical supplier? Gosh, even Lowe's should have it.
Not sure what you are looking for. Or why. Or where you are.
Guessing your other questions terminology means you are in US.
These are not endorsements, just examples,

Or put a jumper wire on this?

If you venture into a Big Box store, start at the switches, then work your way toward the expensive switches, and away from the 33 cent switches.
Look for stuff individually boxed, and something with different colored plastic.

Sorry, I should have provided more information. I need some type of panel mount AC switch to use as a kill switch for my wind turbine.
