Electromagnetic relay with short circuit preventing features

An electromagnetic relay, comprising:

• a support member made of an insulating material;
• a first fixed terminal supported by the support member, the first fixed terminal including a first fixed contact;
• a second fixed terminal supported by the support member at a position apart from the first fixed terminal, the second fixed terminal including a second fixed contact;
• a movable contact piece including a first movable contact facing the first fixed contact and a second movable contact facing the second fixed contact;
• and
• a movable member connected to the movable contact piece, the movable member including a first overlapping portion made of an insulating material, the first overlapping portion disposed between the first fixed terminal and the second fixed terminal, the first overlapping portion overlapping with the support member when viewed from a longitudinal direction of the movable contact piece in an open state where the first movable contact is separated from the first fixed contact,
• wherein the movable member is configured to move in a moving direction including a first direction extending from the first movable contact toward the first fixed contact and a second direction extending from the first fixed contact toward the first movable contact,
• the support member includes a guide portion made of an insulating material and configured to guide movement of the movable member in the moving direction, and
• the first overlapping portion of the movable member is disposed in contact with an inner surface of the guide portion and slides with respect to the guide portion.
