The invention relates to a switching device which has two stationary contacts and a movable contact in a switching chamber. The stationary contacts are arranged next to each other along a longitudinal direction, and the switching chamber has a switching chamber wall with opposing transversal lateral wall parts and opposing longitudinal lateral wall parts. Each of the two stationary contacts is arranged at a distance to one of the transversal lateral wall parts, said distance being shorter than the respective distance to the longitudinal lateral wall parts.

In an embodiment a switching device includes at least two fixed contacts and one movable contact in a switching chamber and at least two auxiliary contacts, two spring contacts and a contact plate in the switching chamber, wherein each of the spring contacts contacts one of the auxiliary contacts with a first contact region and has a second contact region, wherein the contact plate is movable together with the movable contact, and wherein the contact plate is configured to contact the second contact regions of the spring contacts in a first switching state of the switching device and is configured to be arranged at a distance from the second contact regions of the spring contacts in a second switching state.

A relay of the present disclosure includes an insulation cover, a first yoke plate, a contact assembly, a driving assembly and a pressure relief valve assembly. The first yoke plate is connected with the insulation cover and encloses a contact chamber with the insulation cover. The first yoke plate is provided with a pressure relief hole. The driving assembly is connected with the movable contact piece and configured to drive the movable contact piece move. The pressure relief valve assembly is arranged on the first yoke plate and configured to close the pressure relief hole when a gas pressure in the contact chamber is less than a threshold and configured to be broken to open the pressure relief hole when the gas pressure in the contact chamber is greater than or equal to the threshold.

A connecting structure between lead-out pins of auxiliary stationary contacts and a yoke plate of a DC relay, includes a yoke plate and a plurality of auxiliary stationary contact lead-out terminal assemblies mounted on the yoke plate; each auxiliary stationary contact lead-out terminal assembly includes a lead-out pins, a glass material body and a kovar alloy part; the lead-out terminal, the glass material body and the kovar alloy part are connected into a whole by sintering, and the lead-out terminal and the kovar alloy part are insulated from each other by glass material; the auxiliary stationary contact lead-out terminal assembly is welded and fixed to the yoke plate through the kovar alloy part.
