Electromagnetic relay having a reduced height

摘要

An electromagnetic relay has a reduced height while maintaining a good voltage withstand. A base unit includes a metal plate member and a base mold made of a plastic, the metal plate member having a break fixed contact point and a break terminal and being insertion-molded with the base mold. A subassembly, including an electromagnet assembly and a movable leaf spring/armature assembly attached to the electromagnet assembly, is fixed to an upper side of the base unit. The electromagnet assembly includes a bobbin, a coil, an iron core and a yoke. The movable leaf spring/armature assembly includes a movable leaf spring having a movable contact point and an armature fixed to the movable leaf spring. A make terminal member having a make fixed contact point and a make terminal is fixed to the base unit. The base mold has a yoke attaching part to which the yoke of the electromagnet assembly is attached and a make terminal member attaching part to which the make terminal member is attached. The subassembly is mounted to the base unit by the yoke of the electromagnet assembly being attached to the yoke attaching part of the base mold. The make terminal member is mounted to the base unit by being attached to the make terminal attaching part of the base mold.
