Electromagnetic relay

An electromagnetic relay comprising:

• an exciting coil that forms a magnetic field when being energized;
• a movable core driven by the exciting coil;
• a movable contactor having a first movable contact and a second movable contact to operate with the movable core;
• a first fixed terminal having a first fixed contact with which the first movable contact abuts when the movable contactor is moved by energizing the exciting coil;
• and
• a second fixed terminal having a second fixed contact with which the second movable contact abuts when the movable contactor is moved by energizing the exciting coil, wherein
• the first movable contact and the second movable contact are tilted in opposite directions relative to a perpendicular direction, the perpendicular direction being perpendicular to both (i) an arrangement direction of the first movable contact and the second movable contact and (ii) a moving direction of the movable contactor,
• the arrangement direction of the first movable contact and the second movable contact being a direction along which the first movable contact and the second movable contact are arranged and being in a same direction as a longitudinal axis of the movable contactor, and
• an inclination angle of a central axis of the first movable contact with respect to a central axis of the first fixed contact and an inclination angle of a central axis of the second movable contact with respect to a central axis of the second fixed contact are inclined in opposite directions from each other.
