Abstract
A relay includes an electromagnet, a plurality of springs having contacts which open and close in accordance with operation of the electromagnet and terminals, and a base which supports the springs, wherein at least one of the plurality of springs has a locked part which is locked on the base using resilience of the spring, and the base has a lock part which locks the locked part.
Claims5
A relay, comprising:
- a base;
- an electromagnet mounted on the base;
- and
- a spring inserted into the base, the spring including a contact which opens and closes with another contact in accordance with operation of the electromagnet, a terminal, and a raised part formed by folding a portion of the spring,
- wherein the raised part elastically deforms due to its resilience when the raised part receives an external force, and
- the base has a lock part which locks an end of the raised part positioned opposite to an insertion direction in which the spring is inserted into the base, so as to limit a movement of the spring in the insertion direction.
