  • Patent number: 6781490
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes a plurality of fixed contact terminals, a main body assembly formed by combining an electromagnetic assembly with an armature assembly, a terminal board having a plurality of pocket shaped recess portions engaged with the plurality of fixed contact terminals, and a convex band located on the terminal board so as to isolate the plurality of fixed contact terminals from each other, the convex band including a groove into which a back-stop metal or one of the plurality of fixed contact terminals is inserted, and a cover for receiving an electromagnetic relay main body formed by combining the main body assembly with the terminal board.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 9, 2004
    Date of Patent: August 24, 2004

  • Patent number: 6771154
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay comprises a coil and a contact group containing a plurality of normally open contacts which are connected in series under control of an electromagnet created when this coil is energized. This electromagnetic relay can prevent a short-circuit from occurring between the normally closed contact and the normally open contact due to an arc even though the contact gap length is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20030067372
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay comprises an electromagnetic relay main body in which a plurality of fixed contact terminals are attached to a plate portion made of an insulating material and a cover into which the electromagnetic relay main body is inserted. A plate portion made of an insulating material and having a plurality of fixed contact terminals attached thereto includes a first engagement portion at the position in which a plurality of fixed contact terminals are isolated from each other and the cover includes at its inner wall surface a second engagement portion that engages with the first engagement portion.

  • Patent number: 6404155
    Abstract: When an electromagnetic relay connects a movable contact to a normally open contact N/O, direct current flows through direct current motor and thereby the direct current motor is driven. When the electromagnetic relay connects the movable contact to a normally closed contact N/C, the rotation of the direct current motor is braked. A plurality of normally open contacts N/O are connected in series in the passage of direct current obtained when the electromagnetic relay connects the movable contact to the normally open contact N/O.
