Electromagnetic relay and a method for its production

Abstract

An electromagnetic system having a coil (8), a yoke (10) and an armature (11) is arranged in the upper region of the cap in the relay having a housing cap (1) which is closed at the top, while a contact system (5, 6, 7) is mounted in the lower region in the vicinity of the connection side of the relay. Coil connecting elements (20) are embedded in each case in one side wall of the cap (1), for the connection of the coil winding, in such a manner that their ends open on the top of the cap in each case in a depression (18) which is open to the exterior. During the assembly of the magnet system, winding supporting elements (15), which are provided in each case on the coil former, are inserted into these depressions. The ends of the winding supporting elements (15) and of the coil connecting elements (20) are then be electrically conductively connected from the exterior by soldering or using a conductive adhesive. This results in a space-saving connection, which is nevertheless insulated with respect to the ferromagnetic parts of the magnetic system and the contact elements, between the winding ends of the coil (8) and the corresponding connecting pins (20a) on the bottom of the relay.
