Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic relay comprising: a base in which connecting elements are anchored; a magnet system having a coil, a core being arranged within the coil, an L-shaped yoke, and a plate-shaped armature, a coil axis being arranged parallel to a first yoke leg and arranged essentially perpendicular to a primary plane of the base, a second yoke leg being connected to a first end of the core farthest from the base, the armature being pivoted on the first yoke leg and forming a working air gap with a second end of the core facing the base; and a contact system with a contact spring that is fastened to the armature and carries a movable contact, and at least one fixed contact carrier that carries a fixed contact and is anchored in the base, wherein an open end of the first yoke leg is supported on an upper surface of the base with two fork-shaped end sections, while an open end of the second yoke leg is supported on the upper surface of the base by at least one yoke support parallel to the first yoke leg, and wherein the armature is pivoted on a pivot edge formed between the two fork-shaped end sections of the first yoke leg and is fastened to an outer side of the first yoke leg facing away from the coil by a return spring, which engages between the fork-shaped end sections of the first yoke leg, wherein at least an end portion of the connecting elements have fork-shaped divided end sections to form push-on slots configured to be pushed onto electrical rails.
