Abstract:
A relay comprising:a base body;an electromagnetic system which is connected to the base body, said electromagnetic system having a coil with a central axis, a core on said central axis and an armature; anda contact arrangement having a stationary contact spring and a moving contact spring, each contact spring being a planar leaf spring with a connecting element and a contact-making region, the contact-making region of at least one contact spring having an L-shaped design, the connecting element of each of said springs being anchored in a common plane alongside one another in the base body with contact-making regions overlapping one another, so that the armature can operate the moving contact spring via a slide which can move at right angles to a longitudinal extent of said moving contact spring, the improvements comprising said stationary contact spring resting on a stop on the base body and having the contact-making region being prestressed by elastic deflection from the common plane by said stop and said common plane extending parallel to the central axis.
