Abstract
A relay is provided with fixed contact mounts anchored in a base, as well as contact springs arranged between the fixed contact mounts. The springs are actuated at their free ends. The contact springs each have spring mounts that include terminal segments anchored in the base, respectively parallel to the fixed contact mounts, but outside the space enclosed by them. These terminal segments are connected with the appertaining contact springs via U-shaped connection segments; the connection segments are guided in corresponding guide channels of the base in an insulated fashion. In this way, several sets of switchover contacts can be arranged in simple and space-saving fashion in a relay base, given a predetermined terminal configuration.
