  • Patent number: 8305167
    Abstract: To provide a twin-type power electromagnetic relay having high reliability, having a reduced size and low mounting height, and suitable for surface mounting. By inserting projections provided in a coil spool, which is a component constituting an electromagnetic relay block, into projection insertion holes 5a and 5b formed in a base plate 5, two electromagnetic relay blocks 4A and 4B are arranged side by side on the base plate 5 such that their central axes are nearly parallel to the base plate. A base protective wall 5c is provided on the base plate 5, and a coil wire winding terminal portion of a spool is covered by the base protective wall and by a fixed terminal protective wall on the fixed terminal block when assembled, preventing foreign matters such as flux from entering between the contacts from the winding terminal portion.

  • Patent number: 7372350
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay is provided which is small in size and is capable of controlling two circuits of an ordinarily-open contact, which has a large current-carrying capacity and high interrupting capability, and which is excellent in resistance against shock and vibration. Movable contactors are held, through bow-shaped movable contactor springs, to two -shaped holding frames each being electrically separated and being mechanically connected via a card made of a highly heat-resistant resin in a card block. Thick-plate shaped movable contacts, which are attached to the movable contactors in a fixed manner, are electrically connected or disconnected to fixed contacts in a base block, in synchronization with operations of an armature of an electro-magnet block. In order to improve a current-carrying capability and interrupting capability, there are provided two pieces of ordinarily-open contacts which are connected in series to each other, and between which an interval is doubled, in each of two circuits.

  • Patent number: 6873232
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay has three fixed contact terminal assemblies arrayed in a row at regular intervals, and a movable contact spring assembly having three movable contacts. An armature is caused to swing by turning on and off an exciting current to a coil assembly so that normally-open contact portions are closed and opened. A movable spring of the movable contact spring assembly is branched into three portions on one end side thereof and a substantially U-shaped slit is formed in each of the branched portions so that spring flexible portions and a current-carrying path portion are separately formed in each branched portion. A current-carrying plate is joined to the three current-carrying path portions so that the three movable contacts are electrically connected together.

  • Patent number: 5246385
    Abstract: A connector comprises a socket portion which is subjected to surface treatment and a base portion which is not subjected to the surface treatment, or comprises a socket portion and a base portion subjected to different kinds of surface treatments. The socket and base portions are each provided with a coupling mechanism. The socket and base portions may be easily surface treated independently, after which they are coupled together, thereby forming a connector capable of preventing short circuit arising from surface treatments.
