Relay

Abstract

The present application discloses a relay comprising: a stationary contact element extending into a contact chamber defined by a housing of the relay; a movable contact element configured to move toward the stationary contact element during operation such that the movable contact element comes into contact with the stationary contact element to achieve conduction of an electric circuit; a first magnetic conductive member disposed within the contact chamber; and a second magnetic conductive member coupled to the movable contact element and configured to form a magnetic circuit with the first magnetic conductive member when the movable contact element contacts the stationary contact element. The second magnetic conductive member is configured to be movable toward the first magnetic conductive member when the movable contact element contacts the stationary contact element, so as to change a distance between the first magnetic conductive member and the second magnetic conductive member.
