Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic switch, comprising: an excitation coil which generates magnetomotive force when current is passed therethrough; a switch frame which accommodates the excitation coil and generates a flux path allowing magnetic flux generated by the magnetomotive force of the excitation coil to pass therethrough; a resin cover which is assembled into the switch frame to cover an opening on one end side of the switch frame; and at least one current-supply terminal member which receives power via an electric supply line and energizes the excitation coil, the current-supply terminal member including: a blade-shaped terminal whose end on one side is directly connected to the excitation coil and whose end on the other side is drawn out of the resin cover through the resin cover in the axial direction of the electromagnetic switch; a relay metal terminal plate whose end on one side is electrically and mechanically joined to an end on the other side of the blade-shaped terminal, and whose end on the other side is drawn out in the direction intersecting the axial direction of the electromagnetic switch and has a fitting hole; and a bolt terminal whose one end is inserted into the fitting hole of the relay metal terminal plate for electrical connection with the relay metal terminal plate, and whose another end is insert-molded in the terminal anchor block integrally provided with the resin cover; and a portion of the bolt terminal projected from the terminal anchor block has an outer periphery fitted to an annular terminal provided at the end of the electric supply line to electrically connect the bolt terminal to the electric supply line.
