Abstract
The present disclosure refers to a miniature relay with a spring bracket serving for mounting a magnet coil and spring contact bank. The base of the spring bracket is provided with plug or solder connections towards the outside, with a view to providing the most compact construction possible with a simultaneous, far-reaching separation of plug or solder connections for the coil winding and a contact bank. It is also within the context of the present invention that the longitudinal axis of the magnet coil is arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the spring contact bank.
Claims13
In an improved miniature relay unit having a magnet coil, a pivoting armature and a spring contact bank for said magnet coil, a spring carrier having a base portion for mounting said magnet coil, said spring contact bank having at least a pair of spring switches, said base portion having lug or solder connections for said magnet coil that extend to an outside of the unit, and said magnet coil having a longitudinal axis extending parallel to said base portion and in a cross relation to a longitudinal axis of said spring contact bank;
- the relay being further characterized by said pivoting armature having a substantially planar actuating leg of insulating material linked thereto, said leg being adapted to act on the pair of spring switches of said spring contact set, said pivoting armature being positioned along an end of said magnet coil and the spring contact bank being positioned on the opposite end of the magnet coil and said actuating leg being positioned along a side of said magnet coil and in an opposite and parallel relation with respect to said base portion.
In a miniature relay unit, a magnet coil having a longitudinal axis, a spring contact bank, a spring bracket for mounting said coil and contact set, said spring bracket having a base portion provided with lug or solder connectors extending towards the outside of the unit, an armature, said magnet coil having a longitudinal axis arranged in a perpendicular relation to the longitudinal axis of said spring contact bank, a bobbin for said magnet coil, said bobbin being of insulating material and having a laterally extending portion with a groove therein that is adapted to swivel mount said armature, and said laterally extending portion having means adjacent said groove for applying pressure on said armature to hold said armature in a lifted position with respect to said magnet coil when the unit is at rest.
