An arrangement for an electric switching device is disclosed. The arrangement for an electric switching device comprises a switching unit having a first switching position and a second switching position, a restoring element exerting a restoring force on the switching unit in the second switching position, and a return spring fastened to the switching unit and exerting a counterforce on the switching unit. The restoring force is directed toward the first switching position, while the counterforce acts opposite to the restoring force.

Systems, devices, and methods for an electrical switch including: an enclosure; a hinged armature disposed within the enclosure; a moveable contact electrically coupled to the hinged armature and disposed substantially parallel to the hinged armature; and a rib positioned between the hinged armature and an outer edge of the electrical switch, where the rib transfers external forces applied to the electrical switch to the enclosure by limiting movement of the hinged armature towards an outer edge of the electrical switch.

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.

An electromagnetic relay includes a fixed spring, a fixed contact configured to be swaged so as to be attached to the fixed spring, a movable spring, and a movable contact provided on the movable spring so as to be capable of making contact with the fixed contact, wherein a swaged portion of the fixed contact is formed so as not to protrude from a surface of the fixed spring.

The electromagnetic relay comprises an auxiliary fixed terminal that has a configuration different from that of a fixed terminal and includes an auxiliary external input/output terminal and an auxiliary external output/input terminal that can be electrically connected to the auxiliary external input/output terminal. The electromagnetic relay comprises an auxiliary movable terminal that has a configuration different from that of a movable terminal and can electrically connect the auxiliary external input/output terminal and the auxiliary external output/input terminal.

An electromagnetic relay includes a base, an electromagnet block mounted on an upper surface of the base, a movable iron piece configured to be rotatable based on excitation and non-excitation of the electromagnet block, a movable contact piece configured to be rotatable integrally with the movable iron piece, a movable contact fixed to a free end portion of the movable contact piece, and a fixed contact fixed to a fixed contact terminal, and disposed so as to be separable from and contacted with the movable contact along with rotation of the movable contact piece. A permanent magnet configured to induce an arc generated between the movable contact and the fixed contact in a predetermined direction is housed in a recessed portion formed on a lower surface of the base in a direction toward a side opposite to the movable contact as viewed from the fixed contact terminal.

An electromagnetic relay includes: a housing including a base and a case that opens downward and is provided on the base, the housing having an internal space surrounded by the base and the case; a main fixed contact; a main moving contact that comes into contact with and separates from the main fixed contact; an auxiliary fixed contact; an auxiliary moving contact that comes into contact with and separates from the auxiliary fixed contact; a coil provided in the housing such that a central axis extends in a vertical direction; an iron core disposed so as to be surrounded by the coil; a yoke disposed around the coil; an armature that is disposed to face an upper end of the iron core and swings in response to excitation/non-excitation of the coil; a movable part provided with the main moving contact and configured to move in response to swinging of the armature; and a partition wall that divides the internal space of the housing into a first space and a second space. The main fixed contact and the main moving contact are disposed in the first space, and the auxiliary fixed contact and the auxiliary moving contact are disposed in the second space.

This application provides a direct current contactor which includes a housing, and a first fixed contact and a second fixed contact that are fastened into the housing; a first moving contact and a second moving contact that are located in the housing; a drive mechanism, including: an insulation rod connected to the first moving contact and the second moving contact, and a drive component that drives the insulation rod to drive the first moving contact and the second moving contact to synchronously move toward the first fixed contact and the second fixed contact; and a pressing component configured to push the moving contact firmly against the fixed contact. Only two pairs of contacts are used to implement connection/disconnection of two electrode lines, so that a total contactor resistance is reduced by half compared with that in the conventional technology.
