Abstract
The present invention relates to the structure of a magnetic relay for telecommunication network configuration, said relay having a magnetically cantilevered armature, said contact armature having a section with reduced cross section over a part of its length to provide a hinge action. While the invention is suitable for use in miniaturized relays, it can also be used with larger relays.
