Electromagnetic contractor

An electromagnetic contactor, comprising:

• a stationary core;
• a coil arranged around the stationary core;
• a movable holder arranged movably toward the stationary core;
• a movable core coupled to one end of the movable holder in proximity to the stationary core for being attracted to the stationary core by the excitation of the coil;
• and
• a nonmagnetic structural component arranged on the movable core on a side facing the stationary core,
• wherein the nonmagnetic structural component is prepared as a flat plate structural component with high flexural rigidity, and is arranged to be overlaid on the surface of the movable core which surface faces the stationary core, and the nonmagnetic structural component and the movable core are held between a cushioning spring and a coupling pin, the cushioning spring being contained in the movable holder and butting against a back face of the movable core not facing the stationary core, and the coupling pin being arranged across the nonmagnetic structural component with both ends engaging with a pair of holder legs, respectively, of the movable holder provided on the side facing the stationary core.
