A relay includes a case and a coil unit is located in the case. Multiple first legs each have the first end thereof connected to the coil unit, and the second end thereof extending beyond the case. A second leg has the first end thereof located in the case and forms a contact, and the second end of the second leg extends beyond the case. A third leg includes an upright section and a transverse section which extends from the upright section and located in the case. The upright section has one end thereof extending beyond the case. An armature has a connection section connected to the transverse section, and a main section located beneath the contact. The connection section increases conductive area and flexibility of the armature in the case.

An electromagnetic relay includes a fixed contact holder, a moving contact holder, an electromagnetic device, and a magnet. The fixed contact holder extends in a predetermined direction and is provided with a fixed contact. The moving contact holder also extends in the predetermined direction, and is provided with a moving contact. The magnet is arranged perpendicularly to an opening/closing direction of the fixed contact and the moving contact. A stretch space in which an arc generated between the fixed contact and the moving contact is stretched is provided, in the predetermined direction, beyond respective tips of the fixed contact holder and the moving contact holder. The stretch space also faces a surface of the fixed contact holder and a surface of the moving contact holder.

The invention relates to a relay, having an electromagnetic drive with a field coil arranged around an iron core which defines a plane, and a yoke. The electromagnetic drive works together with a movable armature which can switch a movable electrical contact via an actuating arrangement. The relay is accommodated in a housing, wherein an intermediate base and/or partition is included between the electromagnetic drive and the contact. The electromagnetic drive is arranged on one side of the partition, and the movable electrical contact is arranged on the other side of the partition. The partition has an opening through which the mechanical actuation of the contact is carried out. Because the armature is pivotable about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of the iron core, the relay can have a lower constructed height than a conventional relay.

Apparatus and method for latching one pole contact of at least one springy pole in one of a relay and an hybrid switch for maintaining one of engaging and disengaging state of at least one first contact with said pole contact by a mechanical latching device comprising a springy lock pin exerting minute force, a slider with indentation path for guiding the lock pin and a track for the slider, the latching device extends from an armature or the springy pole to a base or a body of the relay or the hybrid switch, said springy pole is guided by said slider movement propelled by one of a pull by a voltage rated magnetic coil fed by a pulse of said rated voltage and a push by a plunger, and for operating a stronger coil for switching higher electrical current the magnetic coil is fed with combination with at least one discharge higher voltage to increase the magnetic pull power of the coil.

A second yoke is disposed at a distance from a first yoke in a predetermined first direction. The movable unit is disposed between the first yoke and the second yoke. The movable unit is rotated by magnetic force from the first yoke and the second yoke to switch between a contact state and a non-contact state of a first contact and a second contact. The first conductive member has an extending portion extending in a second direction vertical to the first direction. The extending portion and a second conductive member are disposed at positions not overlapping with the relay body as viewed in a third direction vertical to the first direction and the second direction.

An electromagnetic relay is disclosed. The electromagnetic relay comprises a coil, a yoke having a yoke face, and an armature. The armature has an armature face facing the yoke face and movable, depending on a current through the coil, between an open position and a closed position in which the armature face is positioned closer to the yoke face, and an overlap disposed over a side surface of the yoke. A first distance between the side surface of the yoke and the overlap is smaller than a smallest second distance between the armature face and the yoke face in the open position.
