Abstract: Pluggable miniature relay comprising a plug-in socket connector; the base of which has a complementary configuration to that of the base of the relay. Two walls of the connector ensure the housing of the contact springs which are soldered by an end on the mounting support (printed circuit board) and set up by the other end the electric contact with the relay electrodes. The other two walls have locking studs which home in the recesses of the relay cover, when the relay is plugged-in on the socket connector, and hold it locked on the latter.

Abstract: A process of anchoring and assembly of contact springs of miniature relays provided for mounting on printed circuit boards is disclosed. Each electrode, associated with a contact spring, extends the latter outside the relay and includes a fixing lug provided with semicircular cuts determining two fixing fingers. Each electrode is inserted into a slot of the relay support wall and is submitted to a force which causes the semicircular cuts to be deformed. This results in both fingers away from each other, penetrating the relay support insulating material and housing therein by deforming this material within said cuts.
