Abstract

An improved relay assembly comprising a relay, a circuit board and a base in which the relay is directly mounted to the circuit board terminals are mounted to the board and the assembly of relay board and terminals is then inserted and retained in the base. Interconnecting circuitry for connecting the terminals to the various elements of the relay and also for carrying out other chosen functions is provided by the circuit board and the connection of the relay and terminals to the board is carried out by one step soldering. The whole may be placed in the housing and be hermetically sealed. Variations of terminal structure arrangements for improved rigidity and reliability are described as well as details of relay structure and contact mounting.
