An electromagnetic relay (1) is provided with an armature (510), and a moving body (520) that moves with swinging of the armature (510). The armature (510) is provided with: a supporting section (512) facing a leg section (820) of an iron core (800); a magnetic pole section (513) facing a leg section (830) of the iron core (800); and an arm section (511) that connects the supporting section (512) and the magnetic pole section (513) to each other. The moving body (520) is provided on the arm section (511), and a pressing protrusion (521) for moving a movable contact (610) is formed on the moving body (520). The pressing protrusion (521) is formed on a line segment (L) that connects the gravity center (C1) of the supporting section (512) and the gravity center (C2) of the magnetic pole section (513) to each other.
