Abstract:
An electromagnetic relay comprising:a base body defining a base level and including a base body insulating material, said base body having a floor, a plurality of center contact terminal pins, each of said center contact terminal pins projecting from said base body in a center contact terminal pin direction, and a plurality of terminal tracks being mounted to said base body for supporting a plurality of stationary contact elements, a plurality of moving contact elements and a plurality of terminal elements;a contact spring arrangement and an armature being pivotably mounted to said contact spring arrangement at a spring covering for forming an armature-spring subassembly, said subassembly matingly cooperating with each of said stationary contact elements of said base body,said armature being pivotably mounted about an armature pivot axis,said armature pivot axis extending in an armature pivot axis direction,said contact spring arrangement including two torsion spring ridges and a plurality of contact springs being connected to both of said torsion spring ridges, both of said torsion spring ridges projecting through said spring covering, said two torsion spring ridges extending along at least a portion of said armature pivot axis and being secured to each of said respective center contact terminal pins, said two torsion spring ridges and each of said contact springs being manufactured from a common plate;a coil being mounted above said base body and extending along at least a portion of said base body, said coil including a plurality of coil terminal elements, each of said coil terminal elements penetrating through said base level in a perpendicular direction relative to said base level;a core being axially disposed within said coil, said core having two core ends, both of said core ends including a pole shoe, both of said pole shoes extending to said armature for providing at least one working gap therein.
