  • Patent number: 4914410
    Abstract: With a very small hinged armature relay of the printed circuit board type with dual-in-line terminal configuration intended for a very high number of actuations there exists the problem to design the armature resetting spring in such a manner that it withstands said high number of actuations without any risk of failure. For the present relay this problem has been solved by providing a leaf spring as the armature resetting spring being connected in a form-locking manner to the legs of a U-shaped armature (13) extending substantially in parallel to said legs and being connected in a force-locking manner to the coil former (10) constituting the relay structure, this in contrary to the usual way wherein said flat spring would be connected to the legs of the E-shaped magnet yoke (12). By this means it is possible to provide the leaf spring with a length at least equal to the length of the legs of the armature.
