Abstract
An electromechanical relay (10) that includes a frame (52) and a header assembly (20) having a plurality of contacts (24, 26, 28). The relay (10) also includes a core assembly (62) having an end engaging the frame (52). The relay (10) further includes an armature assembly (64) pivotally connected to the core assembly (62). The armature assembly (64) has at least one actuator (76, 77) engaging one of the contacts (24, 26). The relay (10) also includes a shield (16) connected to the header assembly (20) and defining a cavity (84) in which the contacts (24, 26, 28) are disposed.
Claims25
A relay comprising:
- a frame;
- a header assembly having a first plurality of contacts, wherein said first plurality of contacts include a plurality of moving contacts and at least one lower stations contact;
- a core assembly having an end engaging said fame;
- an armature assembly pivotally connected to said core assembly, said armature assembly having an armature and at least one actuator engaging one of said contacts;
- a shield connected to said header assembly, said shield defining a cavity in which said first plurality of contacts are disposed;
- and
- at least one upper stationary contact connected to said shield, wherein one of said moving contacts engages said lower stationary contact and one of said moving contacts engages said upper stationary contact when the relay is in a de-energized state.
