Claim:
1. A relay, comprising: a first fixed contact; a second fixed contact separated from the first fixed contact; a movable contact configured to connect the first fixed contact to the second fixed contact and to detach the first fixed contact from the second fixed contact; and a first magnet including a first polar surface and a second magnet including a second polar surface, the first polar surface facing the second polar surface with a first contact part and a second contact part between the first polar surface and the second polar surface, wherein the first contact part causes the movable contact to contact and detach from the first fixed contact and the second contact part causes the movable contact to contact and detach from the second fixed contact, wherein the first contact part is located closer to the second magnet than to the first magnet, and wherein the second contact part is located closer to the first magnet than to the second magnet, and wherein the movable contact comprises: a center portion extending parallel to and along a centerline that intersects the first magnet and the second magnet at approximately 90 ° such that a first end of the center portion extends toward the first magnet and a second end of the center portion extends toward the second magnet; a first straight extending portion that extends away from the first end of the center portion at approximately 90 ° in a first direction such that the first extending portion extends parallel to the first magnet with a first contact end formed at an end of the first extending portion, the first contact end configured to detachably contact the first fixed contact; and a second straight extending portion that extends away from the second end of the center portion at approximately 90 ° in a second direction opposite to the first direction such that the second extending portion extends parallel to the second magnet with a second contact end formed at an end of the second extending portion, the second contact end configured to detachably contact the second fixed contact.
