The assembling process of the auxiliary contact portion 60 and the yoke 210 is described below with reference to fig. 6 and 7. As shown in fig. 6, the rivet 216 is inserted into the rivet hole 631 from a side of the first segment 632 of the rivet hole 631 facing away from the second segment 633 until the first insulator 630 abuts the yoke 210. Then, the tool is used to press against the side of the yoke 210 facing away from the rivet joint 216. As shown in fig. 7, the rivet needle is inserted into the rivet hole 631 from the side of the second section 633 of the rivet hole 631 facing away from the first section 632, and presses the head of the rivet head 216, so that the head of the rivet head 216 deforms, and the head of the rivet head 216 gradually expands under the extrusion of the rivet needle until the head abuts against the hole wall of the second section 633, and the deformed portion of the rivet head 216 is the expansion portion 218.

Of course, in other embodiments, the hole wall of the first section 632 may not be parallel to the axis of the rivet hole 631, that is, the first section 632 and the second section 633 are both inclined wall sections.

The circumferential shape of the staking holes 631 may have various embodiments, such as circular, polygonal, etc. When the circumferential shape of the staking hole 631 is circular, the hole wall of the first segment 632 may enclose a cylinder shape and the hole wall of the second segment 633 may enclose a circular truncated cone shape.

Correspondingly, the shape of the rivet head 216 is adapted to the shape of the rivet hole 631. For example, when the rivet hole 631 is circular, the rivet head 216 is a cylinder.

One auxiliary moving spring assembly 610 corresponds to two auxiliary stationary spring assemblies 620. The auxiliary moving contact 612 is located between two auxiliary stationary contacts 622. When the enameled wire of the relay is not energized, the auxiliary movable contact 612 is in contact with one of the auxiliary stationary contacts 622. When the enameled wire of the relay is electrified, the auxiliary movable contact 612 is contacted with the other auxiliary fixed contact 622.

The auxiliary contact portion 60 of the present embodiment is compatible with normally open, normally closed, and transition to meet different needs of the user.

The auxiliary movable contact 612 is provided with a hollowed-out structure 611a in the area where the auxiliary movable contact 612 is arranged on the auxiliary movable reed 611. By providing the hollowed-out structure 611a around the auxiliary movable contact 612, the flexibility of the area where the auxiliary movable contact 612 is provided by the auxiliary movable contact 611 can be improved. In this way, the stress generated by the greater rigidity of the auxiliary movable reed 611 during the opening and closing of the auxiliary contact can be eliminated, which is conducive to the opening and closing of the auxiliary contact.

As an example, the hollow structure 611a may be U-shaped and is wound around the outer periphery of the auxiliary movable contact 612, but not limited thereto. With continued reference to fig. 8, as an example, the fixing bracket 613 may have an L shape, but is not limited thereto. The auxiliary movable reed 611 is made of a metal elastic material so that when the push portion 381 of the second insulating member 380 pushes the auxiliary movable reed 611 against, the auxiliary movable reed 611 is more easily tilted upward, and the auxiliary movable contact 612 is brought into contact with the auxiliary stationary contact 622.
