To provide a matrix relay which has excellent extensibility that can easily change the number of contact circuits as required, a small number of components to be inventory-controlled, a small number of assembling processes and is highly productive. Therefore, there is provided a matrix relay wherein row leads 11-14 of a lead frame, which are wired so that a plurality of input terminals and a plurality of output terminals are disposed respectively at opposite both sides, column leads 21-24 of the lead frame, which are wired so that a plurality of input terminals and a plurality of output terminals are disposed respectively at both sides adjacent both the opposite sides, and a plurality of opening/closing elements 51-54, 61-64, 71-74, 81-84, which are respectively connected to the row leads 11-14 and the column leads 21-24, are encapsulated with a resin in a square housing. In particular, the row leads 11-14 are each formed with relay leads 25, 26 and three jumper lines 27-29.
A matrix relay wherein row leads of a lead frame, which are wired so that a plurality of input terminals and a plurality of output terminals are disposed respectively at opposite both sides, column leads of the lead frame, which are wired so that a plurality of input terminals and a plurality of output terminals are disposed respectively at both sides adjacent both the opposite sides, and a plurality of opening/closing elements, which are respectively connected to the row leads and the column leads, are encapsulated with a resin in a square housing;
