Abstract
A electromagnetic relay including a plate-shaped pivoting piece (32), one end of which is supported in cantilever state, pivoted by a movable block (40), which reciprocates in the up-down direction on the basis of excitation and demagnetization of an electromagnet block (20) housed within a housing (10, 50), and causes a movable contact (34) formed on the other end of the plate-shaped pivoting piece (32) to make/break contact with an anchored contact (36) formed on the tip section of an anchored contact terminal (35). In particular, the one-end section of the plate-shaped pivoting piece (32) is supported pivotably in cantilever state by the upper end section of a movable contact terminal (31), with a support spring (33) comprising a conductive sheet spring material interposed therebetween.
