  • Patent number: 10541098
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay is disclosed. The electromagnetic relay comprises a coil, a yoke having a yoke face, and an armature. The armature has an armature face facing the yoke face and movable, depending on a current through the coil, between an open position and a closed position in which the armature face is positioned closer to the yoke face, and an overlap disposed over a side surface of the yoke. A first distance between the side surface of the yoke and the overlap is smaller than a smallest second distance between the armature face and the yoke face in the open position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7026896
    Abstract: The invention relates to a relay comprising a coil bobbin, a core penetrating the coil bobbin and a yoke. To achieve a high switching force with a low overall height, the cross-sectional area of the core is greater in the region toward the transition to the yoke than in the central region of the coil bobbin. Increased magnetic flux can be conveyed from the core owing to the cross-sectional enlargement and at the same time more coil windings can be arranged in the central region owing to the reduced cross-section there. Both measures act together and allow high switching forces with low overall height.
