An electromagnetic relay comprising: an electromagnet block comprising a rod-shaped iron core; a coil wound around an outer peripheral side of the rod-shaped iron core, and a spool interposed between the coil and the rod-shaped iron core; a yoke having one end section anchored to one end section of the iron core, and other end section extending to a section at a side of a magnet pole section at other end of the iron core, the electromagnet block being arranged on a base so that the magnet pole section of the iron core has a gap on a base side; a hinge spring anchored to the yoke; and a moving iron configured to be pivotably supported by an elastic support of the hinge spring with the other end of the yoke wherein the electromagnet block is adapted to be magnetized, such that a section to be drawn in the moving iron, is drawn to the magnet pole section of the iron core and pivoted to drive a contact switching unit; the hinge spring includes an elastic contacting portion extending toward an opposite side to the elastic support from a position anchored to the yoke; and characterised in that the moving iron is integrated, at an opposite side to the section to be drawn with respect to the moving iron, with a card member including a pushing portion adapted to push a moveable touch piece with a movable contact anchored therein, a projecting section adapted to be in contact with the elastic contacting portion of the hinge spring and another projecting section adapted to be in contact with the yoke after the projecting section comes into contact with the elastic contacting portion of the hinge spring. an electromagnet block comprising a rod-shaped iron core; a coil wound around an outer peripheral side of the rod-shaped iron core, and a spool interposed between the coil and the rod-shaped iron core; a yoke having one end section anchored to one end section of the iron core, and other end section extending to a section at a side of a magnet pole section at other end of the iron core, the electromagnet block being arranged on a base so that the magnet pole section of the iron core has a gap on a base side; a hinge spring anchored to the yoke; and a moving iron configured to be pivotably supported by an elastic support of the hinge spring with the other end of the yoke wherein the electromagnet block is adapted to be magnetized, such that a section to be drawn in the moving iron, is drawn to the magnet pole section of the iron core and pivoted to drive a contact switching unit; the hinge spring includes an elastic contacting portion extending toward an opposite side to the elastic support from a position anchored to the yoke; and characterised in that the moving iron is integrated, at an opposite side to the section to be drawn with respect to the moving iron, with a card member including a pushing portion adapted to push a moveable touch piece with a movable contact anchored therein, a projecting section adapted to be in contact with the elastic contacting portion of the hinge spring and another projecting section adapted to be in contact with the yoke after the projecting section comes into contact with the elastic contacting portion of the hinge spring.
