Abstract
A relay having a contact and terminal base assembly having a platform with mounting holes formed in corners thereof, to receive depending limbs which extend from the coil and plunger assembly so that, in this way, the two assemblies are mechanically engaged by a socket-type connection. Each assembly, then, may be separately manufactured, to support the contacts and terminals in the one assembly, and to support the coil and plunger in the other assembly, respectively; then, the two are socketed together, to form the complete relay. Such modular construction simplifies manufacturing, and facilitates final, factory adjustments, of each module-assembly, before the two are mechanically joined.
Claims6
A contact and terminal base assembly, for an electrical relay, comprising:
- a platform;
- a movable contact cooperating with fixed contacts;
- said fixed contacts mounted on said platform in a plurality of parallel planes;
- and
- terminals extending from said platform;
- wherein
- one of said contacts occupies a plurality of parallel planes wherein said one contact has a bifurcation, and a land bridging across the branches of the bifurcation to define a framed opening wherein said movable contact extends through said bifurcation.
