1. A plunger relay, comprising:
- a movable actuating element on which a first solenoid actuator is actable in a force-transmitting manner; and
at least one second solenoid actuator, which is actable on a same movable actuating element in a force-transmitting manner, and whose magnetic force is able to be set independently of a magnetic force of the first solenoid actuator;
wherein the first solenoid actuator and the second solenoid actuator are each arranged as an individual winding section of a continuous winding, which has a tap that separates the winding section of the first solenoid actuator from the winding section of the second solenoid actuator.

Abstract
A plunger relay includes a movable actuating element on which a first solenoid actuator is acting in force-transmitting manner. The plunger relay has at least one second solenoid actuator, which is acting on the same movable actuating element in force-transmitting manner, and whose magnetic force is able to be set independently of the magnetic force of the first solenoid actuator.
