Abstract
In a particular embodiment, a method of assembling an electromechanical switching device is disclosed that includes partially inserting a lower static core into a core cavity of a coil assembly having a plurality of components including a plunger assembly enclosure and a coil enclosure. In this embodiment, the core cavity is formed by the plunger assembly enclosure and the coil enclosure. The method also includes positioning the coil assembly within a coil yoke and pushing the coil assembly into the coil yoke such that the lower static core is fully inserted in the core cavity.

A method of assembling an electromechanical switching device, the method comprising:
- partially inserting a lower static core into a core cavity of a coil assembly, the coil assembly comprising a plurality of components including a plunger assembly enclosure and a coil enclosure, the core cavity formed by the plunger assembly enclosure and the coil enclosure;
- positioning the coil assembly within a coil yoke;
- and
- pushing the coil assembly into the coil yoke such that the lower static core is fully inserted in the core cavity.
An apparatus comprising:
- a coil yoke, the coil yoke having a base section with a plurality of holes for holding a plunger assembly enclosure and a coil enclosure;
- the coil yoke having arms extending from the base section such that external sides of the arms flare outwards from the base section at an angle from a line extending perpendicular to a plane formed by a surface of the base section.
