1. A relay having a contact set, first and second members, one of said members being a cover and in the other of said members being a spring bracket separated from the cover by a space, at least one movable actuator is disposed in the space between the cover and the spring bracket, and an isolation configuration, wherein the contact set is disposed between the cover and the spring bracket and the contact set has rows of contacts, wherein said isolation configuration separates said rows of contacts and comprises: two mutually parallel and mutually spaced apart fixed partitions provided on said first member and spaced from said second member; and at least one oppositely oriented fixed partition provided on said second member and spaced from said first member, and wherein, said isolation configuration is interposed between two of the rows of contacts, said at least one oppositely oriented fixed partition is interposed between said two mutually parallel and mutually spaced apart fixed partitions, and said partitions are disposed relative to one another to form an elongated electrical isolation path between said rows of contacts, said relay further comprising flanges having a length parallel to a plane in which said two mutually parallel and mutually spaced-apart partitions lie, wherein said flanges are integrally formed on the actuator and are disposed to retard burning of the contacts.
