Abstract

The relay has a base body, an electromagnet system having a coil, core and armature, as well as a contact arrangement having at least one stationary contact spring and at least one moving contact spring. The contact springs are each designed as planar sheet-metal parts and are anchored in the base body approximately in the same plane, without any permanent bending. In order to make contact, they are provided with an overlap by means of L-shaped end sections; in addition, prestressing of the stationary contact springs is produced by in each case one stop on the base body.
