Electromagnetic relay to ensure stable energization even when contact is dissolved

An electromagnetic relay comprising:

• a first fixed terminal;
• a first fixed contact connected to the first fixed terminal;
• a second fixed terminal;
• a second fixed contact connected to the second fixed terminal;
• a movable contact piece configured to move in a moving direction including an open direction and a closed direction with respect to the first fixed terminal and the second fixed terminal;
• a first movable contact connected to the movable contact piece and disposed facing the first fixed contact;
• and
• a second movable contact connected to the movable contact piece and disposed facing the second fixed contact, wherein
• the first movable contact is located at a same height as the second movable contact,
• the first movable contact has a material property different from that of the second movable contact,
• the movable contact piece is configured to move from a contact start position to a closed position in the closed direction,
• the contact start position is a position where the first movable contact and the second movable contact start to come into contact with the first fixed contact and the second fixed contact respectively,
• a distance between the contact start position and the closed position is defined as a contact follow, and
• the contact follow is less than a sum of lengths of the first fixed contact and the first movable contact in the moving direction of the movable contact piece and/or a sum of lengths of the second fixed contact and the second movable contact in the moving direction of the movable contact piece.
