Abstract

A single or double relay is provided. The relay has a base and a coil body. Each relay has a coil with an axis parallel to the bottom side of the base, an angled yoke and a plate-shaped armature. The armature is connected to a contact spring that is split into two fork-like legs. A contact leg carries a movable contact and a terminal leg that is connected to a spring carrier in the region in front of the movable armature end. With the double relay, the two armatures lie parallel at opposite ends of the base. The design yields a simple assembly with good heat dissipation particularly for a double relay for high switching currents.
