Abstract:
A method for producing an electromagnetic relay, the method comprising the steps of:producing a first half-shell byforming a coil that has a core with spaced apart pole plates, a winding between the pole plates, and connecting pins extending from the coil by cutting the core and cutting the coil connecting pins out of a strip of sheet metal, extrusion-coating said core and said connecting pins jointly to form a core former with the pole plates remaining free and are then subsequently separated and then forming the winding by wrapping wire on said core former,molding the first half-shell upon the coil with the coil being embedded therein with the connecting pins exposed, the first half-shell having a first sealing edge;producing a second half-shell byforming a contact spring support and contacts,molding the second half-shell about the spring support and the contacts with the contacts being exposed outside of the second half-shell, the second half-shell having a second sealing edge formed to correspond with the first sealing edge;inserting am armature into one of the first half-shell and the second half-shell; andjoining the two half-shells together with the first sealing edge engaging the second sealing edge.
