ELECTRICAL SWITCH ELEMENT, PARTICULARLY A RELAY, WITH SWIVELLING LEVER SWITCH MECHANISM

摘要

An electrical switch element, particularly a relay, is provided with an actuator (5) with a switch contact (2) and a switch mechanism (7) . The switch mechanism translates a driving movement (6) of the actuator into a switching movement (4) of the switch contact so that the switch contact is brought into and out of contact with a mating contact (3) . In order to create a switching movement with a large lift in the case of an actuator which can only execute a driving movement with small lift, the switch mechanism has two swivelling levers (8) connected to each other via the actuator and at least one contact retainer (10) . The contact retainer connects the two swivelling levers in its longitudinal direction (15) and is configured so it can be deflected transverse to its longitudinal direction.
