Contact device and electromagnetic relay

Abstract

A contact device of the present disclosure includes a fixed terminal, a movable member, a regulating member, and a heat transmission structure. The fixed terminal includes a fixed contact. The movable member includes a movable contact and is configured to move between a closed position where the movable contact is in contact with the fixed contact and an open position where the movable contact is apart from the fixed contact. The regulating member is configured to be in contact with the movable contact when the movable member is in the open position. The heat transmission structure is configured to transmit, to the fixed terminal, heat from the movable contact when the movable member is in the open position, through a thermal path including at least the regulating member.
