Electromagnetic relay

An electromagnetic relay, comprising:

• a first fixed terminal;
• a first fixed contact connected to the first fixed terminal;
• a second fixed terminal disposed apart from the first fixed terminal in a first direction;
• a second fixed contact connected to the second fixed terminal;
• a movable contact piece including a through-hole positioned centrally in the first direction;
• a first movable contact connected to the movable contact piece, the first movable contact facing the first fixed contact in a second direction, the second direction including a contact direction in which the first movable contact approaches the first fixed contact and a separation direction in which the first movable contact moves away from the first fixed contact;
• a second movable contact connected to the movable contact piece, the second movable contact facing the second fixed contact in the second direction;
• a contact spring configured to urge the movable contact piece in the contact direction;
• and
• a moving member movable in the second direction, the moving member passing through the through-hole, the moving member coupled to the movable contact piece at the center of the movable contact piece in the first direction so as to be movable relative to the movable contact piece, wherein
• the moving member has a clearance relative to the through-hole of the movable contact piece so that when at least one of the second fixed contact and the second movable contact is lost, the clearance allows the movable contact piece to be tilted with respect to the moving member by urging force of the contact spring so as to directly or indirectly contact the second fixed terminal.
