Abstract

An electromagnetic relay includes an electromagnetic part, a movable iron piece, a contact driving part, a contact which is opened and closed by driving the contact driving part with a card disposed between the movable iron piece and the contact driving part. Particularly, the card is disposed between the insulating wall and the contact driving part, a driving projection projected onto an inward surface side opposed to the insulating wall of the card is inserted in and projected from a manipulation hole made in the insulating wall, and the driving projection of the card is pressed by the movable iron piece that is operated based on excitation and demagnetization of the electromagnetic part.

Claims

1. An electromagnetic relay comprising:

an electromagnetic part;

a movable iron piece;

a contact driving part;

a contact selectively openable and closeable by driving the contact driving part with a card disposed between the movable iron piece and the contact driving part;

a driving projection projected onto an inward surface side of the card, the driving projection insertable into a manipulation hole made in an insulating wall, projecting from an upper surface of a base;

insulating ribs provided in an upper and a lower edge portion on an outward surface side that is located on an opposite side to the insulating wall of the card;

wherein the electromagnetic part and the movable iron piece are disposed on one side of the insulating wall and the contact driving part is disposed on the other side of the insulating wall;

wherein the card is disposed between the insulating wall and the contact driving part, and wherein the driving projection of the card is pressed by the movable iron piece operable based on excitation and demagnetization of the electromagnetic part.

2. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 1, further comprising a looped rib provided in an opening edge of the manipulation hole on the other side of the insulating wall.

3. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 2, further comprising a looped groove portion formed on the inward surface side of the card, wherein said looped groove portion is fixable in the looped rib.

5. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 2, further comprising a notch provided in one edge portion of the card, fixable in a support projection projecting from the insulating wall of the base.

6. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 3, further comprising a notch provided in one edge portion of the card, fixable in a support projection projecting from the insulating wall of the base.

7. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 1, further comprising a notch provided in one edge portion of the card, fixable in a support projection projecting from the insulating wall of the base.

4. An electromagnetic relay comprising:

an electromagnetic part;

a movable iron piece;

a contact driving part;

a contact selectively openable and closeable by driving the contact driving part with a card disposed between the movable iron piece and the contact driving part;

a driving projection projected onto an inward surface side of the card, the driving projection insertable into a manipulation hole made in an insulating wall, projecting from an er surface of a base;

a notch provided in one edge portion of the card, fixable in a support projection projecting from the insulating wall of the base;

wherein the electromagnetic part and the movable iron piece are disposed on one side of the insulating wall and the contact driving part is disposed on the other side of the insulating wall;

wherein the card is disposed between the insulating wall and the contact driving part, and wherein the driving projection of the card is pressed by the movable iron piece operable based on excitation and demagnetization of the electromagnetic part.
