PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric relay using conductive liquid such as liquid metal for completing an electric circuit between contacts by bridging a gap between two electric contacts. SOLUTION: A first conductive liquid drop (140) forms connection between a first switching contact (114) and a first fixed contact pad (122) and at the same time, a second conductive liquid drop (142) is separated into two droplets, by the movement of the switching contact in a first direction, whereby connection between a second switching contact (116) and a second fixed contact pad (124) is cut off. Then, the first conductive liquid drop (140) is separated into two droplets to cut off connection between the first switching contact (114) and the first fixed contact pad (122) by the movement of the switching contact in a second direction, and the second conductive liquid drop (142) forms connection between the second switching contact (116) and the second fixed contact pad (124).
