A base of a relay has a leg extending in a contact/separation direction between contacts, and the leg is configured to come into contact with a yoke when the base is incorporated into a case. The leg is spaced away from an upper part of an armature by a distance. This distance is determined so that an upper surface of the armature does not come into contact with the leg in a normal operation of the armature, but the upper surface of the armature comes into contact with a lower surface of the leg when the armature jumps up beyond a movable range thereof due to, for example, a strong impact applied to a vehicle on which the relay is mounted.

A magnetically actuated MEMS switch 100 includes a first magnetic core portion 120, a first signal line 15, a first contact point 16, a second magnetic core portion 220, a second signal line 25, a second contact point 26, and a first coil portion 111 and a second coil portion 211 serving as a magnetic field applying portion that causes a current to flow in conductor coil to apply a magnetic field to the first magnetic core portion 120 and the second magnetic core portion 220. The first contact point 16 is displaced depending on the presence or absence of a magnetic field applied by the magnetic field applying portion. Connection and disconnection between the first contact point 16 and the second contact point 26 are switched in response to displacement of the first contact point 16.

A high voltage relay resistant to instantaneous high-current impact is disclosed, and includes an electromagnet system, a control system, a contact system, and a base support. In the present solution, an electromagnetic force generated by the contact system is used to resolve a problem of contact separation caused by an electric repulsion force generated by an instantaneous high-current.

An electromagnetic relay includes a first fixed terminal including a first fixed contact, a second fixed terminal including a second fixed contact, a movable contact piece, a case, a drive device, and a first magnet. The movable contact piece includes a first movable contact and a second movable contact. The case includes an accommodation space and a side wall covering the accommodation space in a first direction. The first magnet extends an arc generated between the first fixed contact and the first movable contact in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The first fixed terminal includes a first end. The first end of the first fixed terminal includes a tapered portion inclined in the second direction from the first fixed contact toward the first magnet and that at least partially overlaps with the first magnet when viewed from a moving direction of the movable contact piece.

A trip device is disclosed. The trip device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises an adjustment crossbar. The adjustment crossbar is in contact with or is spaced apart from a shooter and can open or close a breaker having the trip device. The adjustment crossbar is formed by coupling a fixed crossbar and a movable crossbar. The movable crossbar is slidably coupled to the fixed crossbar. The shooter is in contact with the fixed crossbar. Therefore, regardless of the movement of the movable crossbar, the contact between the shooter and the fixed crossbar can be maintained.
