Abstract

A relay (10), in particular for a starter for an internal combustion engine, is proposed. The relay (10) includes a relay coil (13) and a solenoid armature (22) which can be moved when full battery current flows to the relay coil (13). A contact member (37) can be actuated by the solenoid armature (22), whereby an operating lever (31) is situated on the contact member (37). It is provided that a coupling element (46) connects the operating lever (31) and the solenoid armature (22) with each other in a manner that allows them to slide with limits.
