Abstract

A relay includes a base member; a magnetic system mounted on the base member and including an armature, a contact arrangement with a contact spring formed with a contact piece, and an actuating element coupled to the armature for transmitting armature movement to the contact spring. The armature element is linked to the contact spring at attack points between which the contact spring has zones of different configuration whereby the magnetic system is loaded substantially evenly upon actuation of the contact spring.
