Electromagnetic relay with driveshaft stopper

An electromagnetic relay, comprising:

• a fixed contact;
• a movable contact that faces the fixed contact;
• a movable contact piece connected to the movable contact;
• a movable iron core that is movable in a moving direction including a contact direction in which the movable contact approaches the fixed contact and a separation direction in which the movable contact separates from the fixed contact, the movable iron core including a shaft hole extending in the moving direction;
• a drive shaft connected to the movable contact piece, the drive shaft extending through the shaft hole, the drive shaft being fixed to the movable iron core;
• a coil configured to generate a magnetic force to move the movable iron core in the moving direction;
• and
• a stopper connected to the drive shaft to restrict a movement of the movable iron core in the moving direction with respect to the drive shaft,
• wherein the stopper is disposed in the contact direction with respect to the movable iron core.
