Abstract
An armature for a switching relay having an armature plate and an armature spring. The armature plate is pivotally mounted on the switching relay between an open and closed position. The armature spring is attached to the switching relay by a suspension and has a spring contact region connected to the armature plate. A first web is attached to the spring contact region, and a tension rod is connected to the first web so that minimal torsional forces are transmitted to the tension rod when the armature plate pivots between the open position and the closed position.
