Abstract
An electromagnetic relay having a manual actuator wherein at an edge of the relay's housing is an opening formed in the shape of a mounting slot in which a pivot lever is mounted with a hinge segment. In an idle state, an outer lever segment of the pivot lever is lowered in a cavity of a housing wall while an inner lever arm extends along a housing wall perpendicular thereto. When the pivot lever is actuated, the inner lever arm actuates a movable relay part, in particular a bolt, up to a first operating position. When the pivot lever is rotated further, the inner lever arm can be locked with the movable relay part.
