Any idea what "straps across" may mean ?

Hello,
I have been reading an electrical manual in English, but written by a Swede.
I found a phrase:

"Contact which straps acros the lock contact".

I could not find "to strap across" in any dictionary.
Do you know what the author meant? That the contact is parallel to the lock
contact ??

TIA,
Tomasz / Poland

It doesn't sound like english either but here is my guess. They mean it is the
contact that completes the lock circuit.
Maybe a little more of the context would help.

"Strap" sometimes refers to the flat metal spring a contact point would be
mounted on in a switch or relay.

"Strap" can also be a connection on a terminal strip. When you "strap" a modem
it means you are putting in jumpers or setting switches that configure it.

Straps is also a term used for the cables between 2 way light switches
