Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic relay, comprising: a receptacle; and a first relay actuator mounted on the receptacle, the first relay actuator having a first contact and a movable contact, the movable contact being mounted on an armature spring having an armature, the first relay actuator having a first and a second terminal, with the first terminal being in electrically conductive connection with the first contact and the second terminal being in electrically conductive connection with the movable contact; the receptacle having electrical connection pins in contact with electrical terminals of the first relay actuator, a second contact secured to the receptacle and associated with the movable contact, and a further connection pin which is in electrically conductive connection with the second contact; wherein the armature spring brings the movable contact into abutment against either the first or the second contact as a function of the current passing through the relay actuator and wherein the receptacle has a recess into which one end of the iron core of the first relay actuator is inserted, and a contact face is embedded in the receptacle adjoining the recess and makes an electrical contact between a connection pin and the iron core of the first relay actuator, with the iron core being in electrically conductive connection with the movable contact of the first relay actuator by way of the armature spring.
