Abstract

A relay includes a base member that supports a magnetic system and has an armature pivoted on a bearing edge on the base member. The armature has a free end moveable in an actuation direction on the bearing edge relative to a pole face between a release position and an attracted position upon energizing and deenergizing of the coil, whereby the bearing edge extends in the plane of a second pole face. Received by a support area of the armature is a retention spring for holding the armature in contact with the bearing edge, with the retention spring being formed as a carrier bilaterally clamped at attack points which are substantially in alignment at least in one plane with the support area for the retainer spring.
