Spanish term or phrase: agujas descarriladoras (calces)

talking about transceiver systems, I know aguja is switch, but "descarriladora"? I think "calces" is for clarification, but it's not helping me! Here's the sentence:
-La ZT no debe contener juntas de dilatación ni agujas descarriladoras (calces).
my reading - the TZ should not contain dilatation joints nor.....switches. Thanks!
