Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic relay comprising: a plate-shaped pivoting piece supported in a cantilever state at one end portion and pivoted by a movable block, the plate-shaped pivoting piece adapted to reciprocate in an up-down direction on a basis of excitation and demagnetization of an electromagnet block housed within a housing, a movable contact having a movable contact terminal provided at another end portion of the plate-shaped pivoting piece configured to make and break contact with an anchored contact provided at a tip portion of an anchored contact terminal in response to reciprocation of said plate-shaped pivoting piece, an elastic tongue piece cut and raised from a support spring, and sandwiched by a cut-out portion for engagement of the movable block, the elastic tongue piece operably sustaining the plate-shaped pivoting piece by the movable block, wherein the one end portion of the plate-shaped pivoting piece is pivotably supported in the cantilever state with the support spring interposed between the one end portion and an upper end portion of the movable contact terminal, the support spring being made of a conductive sheet spring material.
