CONTACT ARRANGEMENT HAVING A BENT CORD, RELAY HAVING A CONTACT ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A RELAY

摘要

The invention relates to a contact arrangement (1) for a relay for switching high load currents. Furthermore, the invention relates to a relay (43) for switching high load currents having a contact arrangement (1). Finally, the invention relates to a method for assembling a relay. In order to be able to assemble the contact arrangement (1) in the relay in an at least partially automated manner, without additional retention devices being required for a cord (4), there is provision according to the invention for the cord (4) to be retained in an inherently stable manner owing to its shape as a self-supporting structure and for the method to have a method step in which the cord (4) is shaped to form a self-supporting structure with a bent shape.
