An electromagnetic relay, comprising: a fixed touch piece comprising a fixed contact; a movable touch piece comprising a movable contact contactably and separably opposed to the fixed contact, and configured to elastically deform; an electromagnet formed by winding a coil around an iron core via a spool, fastening and fixing one end of a yoke to one end of the iron core while extending the other end of the yoke to the lateral side of a suction surface of the other end of the iron core; an intermediate member configured to rotate based on magnetization and demagnetization of the electromagnet and to elastically deform the movable touch piece upon magnetization of the electromagnet such that the movable contact contacts the fixed contact, wherein the intermediate member comprises a sucked portion contactably and separably opposed to the suction surface of the iron core, wherein the sucked portion contacts the suction surface upon magnetization of the electromagnet and is separated from the suction surface upon demagnetization of the electromagnet by an elastic force of the movable touch piece, and a pressing portion configured to press the movable touch piece; and a hinge spring fixed to the yoke, the hinge spring comprising a C-shaped flexing portion which supports the intermediate member between itself and the other end of the yoke such that the sucked portion is rotatably supported by the other end of the yoke, characterized in that the C-shaped flexing portion comprises a press piece cut and raised in a central portion of the C-shaped flexing portion, wherein a leading end of the press piece is a press portion coming into press-contact with a pressure receiving portion of the intermediate member such that the movable touch piece is energized to the fixed contact piece side via the intermediate member by an elastic force generated by the press piece, acting against the elastic force of the movable touch piece when the electromagnet is demagnetized. a fixed touch piece comprising a fixed contact; a movable touch piece comprising a movable contact contactably and separably opposed to the fixed contact, and configured to elastically deform; an electromagnet formed by winding a coil around an iron core via a spool, fastening and fixing one end of a yoke to one end of the iron core while extending the other end of the yoke to the lateral side of a suction surface of the other end of the iron core; an intermediate member configured to rotate based on magnetization and demagnetization of the electromagnet and to elastically deform the movable touch piece upon magnetization of the electromagnet such that the movable contact contacts the fixed contact, wherein the intermediate member comprises a sucked portion contactably and separably opposed to the suction surface of the iron core, wherein the sucked portion contacts the suction surface upon magnetization of the electromagnet and is separated from the suction surface upon demagnetization of the electromagnet by an elastic force of the movable touch piece, and a pressing portion configured to press the movable touch piece; and a hinge spring fixed to the yoke, the hinge spring comprising a C-shaped flexing portion which supports the intermediate member between itself and the other end of the yoke such that the sucked portion is rotatably supported by the other end of the yoke, characterized in that the C-shaped flexing portion comprises a press piece cut and raised in a central portion of the C-shaped flexing portion, wherein a leading end of the press piece is a press portion coming into press-contact with a pressure receiving portion of the intermediate member such that the movable touch piece is energized to the fixed contact piece side via the intermediate member by an elastic force generated by the press piece, acting against the elastic force of the movable touch piece when the electromagnet is demagnetized.
