A relay includes an armature, a yoke configured to be electromagnetically coupled to the armature, and a bracket-shaped clamping spring. The armature lies at least partially flat on the yoke, and a receiving depression is partly formed in the armature. The bracket-shaped clamping spring surrounds the armature and the yoke on an end face such that the armature is fixed on the yoke. The bracket-shaped clamping spring has a first clamping limb arranged in the receiving depression of the armature, and a second clamping limb lying on the yoke. The first clamping limb has an angled tab which engages elastically into a recess formed in the receiving depression of the armature.

A switch includes a set of contacts and a drive mechanism opening and closing the set of contacts. The drive mechanism is located beside the set of contacts in a direction perpendicular to an opening direction in which the contacts are movable to at least one of open and close.

An electrical relay device includes a housing extending between a closed end and an open end defining a chamber. The closed end of the housing faces and is mounted to a circuit board. A driver is received in the chamber and is electrically connected to a relay power source. The driver includes a coil and coil terminals terminated to the circuit board. A switch member is positioned in the chamber and moves between a first position and a second position. The switch member includes a movable relay contact. A cover is coupled to the housing at the open end. The cover holds the coil with the movable relay contact positioned between the coil and the closed end of the housing facing the circuit board.

A relay for assembling in terminal blocks includes an electromagnetic drive arrangement including an armature, an armature bearing spring, and a yoke. The armature is at least partially spaced from the yoke, is movably mounted, and is reduces the distance between the yoke and the armature under an effect of an electromagnetic force. The armature bearing spring applies a spring force counteracting the electromagnetic force. The yoke interacts electromagnetically with the armature to apply the electromagnetic force. A contact spring has a first contact surface and a contact arm, and the contact arm is spaced from the first contact surface and comes into contact with the first contact surface via a pressure force acting to establish an electrical connection between the first contact surface and the contact arm. An insulating element electrically isolates the armature from the contact arm and actuates the contact arm to produce the pressure force.

A core for a coil of a switching device includes an armature abutment section abutting an armature in a closed condition, an armature bearing section mounting the armature to the core, and a coil section receiving a coil and extending along a longitudinal axis from the armature abutment section to the armature bearing section. The coil section and at least one of the armature abutment section and the armature bearing section extend along separate planes offset from one another perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
