  • Publication number: 20230420205
    Abstract: A relay is described that comprises, for example, an electromagnet having a coil wounded on a winding frame and an iron core positioned in the winding frame, a movable terminal having an armature actuated by activation of the electromagnet, a movable spring attached to the armature and a movable contact attached to the movable spring, and a fixed contact opposed to the movable contact. The armature has a shape in which both ends of the armature in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the iron core are recessed relative to a center of the armature, and the armature does not exist in a thickness direction of a site which is cut to form the movable spring.

  • Publication number: 20230068018
    Abstract: Provided is a relay having a structure for preventing deformation of a movable spring when it is caulked. A yoke of the relay has a protrusion for caulking inserted in the movable spring, and a bulge portion adjacent to the protrusion and having a height lower than a height of the protrusion. By providing the bulge portion to the yoke, the dimensional change in the caulking direction of the movable spring when the movable contact is caulked can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20210193420
    Abstract: Provided is a relay comprising an electromagnet having a coil wounded on a winding frame, a movable contact moved by activation of the electromagnet, a fixed contact opposed to the movable contact, and a flange formed on an axial end of the winding frame. The flange has an inswept tapered shape, and at least a part of an outer peripheral portion of the flange has a chamfered shape or a rounded shape.
