Abstract

An electromagnetic relay comprising a hinged armature pivotably supported at a front face of a coil core carrying a relay winding, a switching contact supported on the hinged armature, a fixed counter contact cooperating with the switching contact for actuating the electromagnetic relay, and contact carrier for supporting the fixed counter contact and having a first portion including a center leg and two outer legs arranged on opposite sides of the center leg in spaced relationship relative thereto, a crossbar connecting the center and outer legs at one end thereof, the center leg having at an end thereof spaced from the crossbar a bent-away portion for supporting the one fixed counter contact, the first portion further including in the vicinity of the bent-away portion of the center leg laterally symmetrically extending webs for connecting the center leg to the outer legs, respectively, the center leg having a stretchable portion located between the crossbar and the connecting webs for adjusting a posiiton of the fixed counter contact relative to the switching contact.
