Publication number: 20240194430Abstract: A base of a relay has a leg extending in a contact/separation direction between contacts, and the leg is configured to come into contact with a yoke when the base is incorporated into a case. The leg is spaced away from an upper part of an armature by a distance. This distance is determined so that an upper surface of the armature does not come into contact with the leg in a normal operation of the armature, but the upper surface of the armature comes into contact with a lower surface of the leg when the armature jumps up beyond a movable range thereof due to, for example, a strong impact applied to a vehicle on which the relay is mounted.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2024Publication date: June 13, 2024Inventor: Takuji Murakoshi

Publication number: 20200303145Abstract: Provided is a relay having a relatively small dimension in an alignment direction of contacts, having an easily assembled structure, and capable of extinguishing arcs generated at each contact. The relay comprises: a first terminal having a pair of first contacts; a second terminal having a pair of second contacts which are opposed to the pair of first contacts so as to contact and separate from the respective first contacts; and a first magnet positioned on a side opposed to the pair of first contacts of the first terminal and between the pair of first contacts so that the first magnet does not contact the first terminal, wherein the first magnet is magnetized in a direction along which the pair of first contacts and the pair of second contacts are opposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2020Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventor: Takuji Murakoshi

Patent number: 9330872Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes a contact that includes a fixed contact and a movable contact, a permanent magnet provided on the peripheral side of the contact, and a non-magnetic body. The movable contact is displaceable in a first direction to move toward the fixed contact and in a second direction to move away from the fixed contact. The permanent magnet has a polarity direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. The non-magnetic body faces toward the direction of a Lorentz force that acts based on the permanent magnet in a direct electric current flowing through the contact.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignees: FUJITSU COMPONENT LIMITED, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION SHIZUOKA UNIVERSITYInventors: Kazuo Kubono, Takashi Yuba, Yoichi Hasegawa, Takuji Murakoshi, Junya Sekikawa
