Abstract
The relay has, one after the other on an elongate, narrow base body, a magnetic system and a contact arrangement having at least one fixed contact carrier and at least one movable contact spring. The contact carriers are in this case each embedded by a middle section into the plastic of a base body in such a way that their connecting lugs lie in a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the relay, while their contact-making end sections, which emerge on the upper side of the base body, lie in planes which are parallel to one another and perpendicular to the plane of the connecting lugs. This enables dimensionally accurate embedding of the contact carriers with good insulation with respect to the magnetic system and with easy processing from a sheet-metal plate.
