Electromagnetic relay

摘要

In an electromagnetic relay, length (L1) from a movable contact (29a) to an end portion (271) of a movable element (27) on a first end side is set greater than length (L2) from the movable contact (29a) to another end portion (272) of the movable element (27) on a second end side opposite to the first end side. A direction of a Lorentz force acting on a portion of the movable element (27) from the movable contact (29a) to the end portion (271) of the movable element (27) on the first end side is conformed to a direction for bringing fixed contacts (17a-17c) and movable contacts (29a-29c) into contact with each other. Thus, separation between the movable contacts (29a-29c) and the fixed contacts (17a-17c) due to an electromagnetic repulsive force can be inhibited.
