Switching device i.e. relay, has switching contact that is spaced apart from first counter-contact and second mating contact in position, where switching contact is mounted on spring element

摘要

The device (1) has an electrical drive unit (2) for switching a switching contact from first position (A) to second position. The switching contact is spaced apart from first counter-contact (29) and second mating contact (31) in third position. The switching contact is mounted on a spring element (27), where the spring force holds the switching contact in the third position. The spring element is pre-tensioned in the third position. The drive device comprises a permanent magnet (34) that exerts first permanent magnet motor and second permanent magnet motor.
