Abstract

An electromagnetic relay has a base provided with an insulation enclosure and with a contact block outwardly of the enclosure. An electromagnet block is received within the enclosure and includes a coil, yokes, and an armature extending through the coil along the length of the enclosure. The armature is magnetically coupled to the coil and is movable relative to the yokes upon energization of the coil. A card is provided to connect the armature and a movable contact of the contact block for closing and opening the contact. A cover fitted on the base includes an insulation partition which extends between the enclosure and the contact block to accomplish a double-wall insulation between the electromagnet and the contact block. The card has a trunk for connection with the armature and a crosspiece for connection with the movable contact. The trunk extends into the enclosure through a front is opening thereof to fit around the end of the armature such that the entire length of the armature is insulated from the contact block by the enclosure and by the trunk. The crosspiece extends from the trunk longitudinal outwardly of the enclosure for connection with the movable contact outwardly …
