An electro-magnetic relay, for a starter of an internal combustion engine has a solenoid core (12), a relay coil (16), an armature (14) and a switching pin (24). The pin penetrates an opening of the solenoid core and at one of its ends carries a contact bridge (48) protruding into a contact chamber (36). The contact bridge is movable in an axial direction and has contact surfaces (48) which are engageable with contact surfaces of main-current contacts (52). The contact bridge (48) and the main-current contacts (52) have contact surfaces inclined to the axial direction, and at least one of the contact surfaces is resilient in a radial direction. The contact arrangement produces low contact chatter leading to a long service life. <IMAGE> |
