Abstract: A switching contact is disclosed. The switching contact has an actuation section including a plurality of spring elements. The actuation section is less rigid in a first direction than an opposite second direction.

Abstract: An electric switch is disclosed. The electric switch includes first and second terminals, and a contact sub-assembly is disposed between the first and second terminals and includes at least two contact members. The contact sub-assembly has a connecting position in which the contact members contact each other, wherein a current path extends from the first terminal to the second terminal through the contact sub-assembly in the connecting position, and an interrupting position in which the contact members are spaced apart from each other, wherein the current path does not extend from the first terminal to the second terminal in the interrupting position. At least two conductor members are disposed in the current path between the first terminal and the contact sub-assembly, and the current generates a Lorentz force between the conductor members that is mechanically translated to bias the contact sub-assembly into the interrupting position.

Abstract: The relay has a movable first contact, a second contact, and an actuating element operatively connected with an armature of the relay. The first contact is movable toward the second contact by the actuating element and dependent on a supply of current to the relay. A snap action spring connects the second contact to a housing of the relay. The second contact is positioned between two arrangements by the snap action spring.

Abstract: The invention relates to a modular electric cross connector for producing an electrically conductive connection, in particular of electric contacts (20) of relay sockets, comprising a carrier (100) and an electric bridge (200) partially received on/in the carrier (100), by means of which bridge the electrically conductive connection can be produced, wherein the carrier (100) can be mechanically connected by means of a mechanical plug connection to at least a second electric cross connector (1).

Abstract: An electrical component, such as a relay socket, comprises a housing having at least one terminal provided with an insertion opening configured for receiving at least one conductor end. The insertion opening communicates with an assembly chamber formed in the terminal. A clamping device is arranged in the assembly chamber. The clamping device has a leaf spring divided into substantially parallel spring contacts by a parting slot. Each of the spring contacts is deflectable in a direction of insertion of the conductor end and has a free end positioned adjacent to a contact pressure plate such that a clamping slot is formed there between that force-fittingly receives the conductor end. A conductor element may additionally extend from the clamping device and be force-fittingly connected between the free ends of the spring contacts and the contact pressure plate to form a single piece pre-assembled unit with the clamping device.

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.
