Abstract
A relay includes a contact spring which closes or interrupts an electric circuit between a first and a second relay contact. One end of the contact spring is conductively connected to the first relay contact and another free end of the contact spring closes or interrupts the electric circuit in a first end position of the contact spring and in a second end position of the contact spring, respectively. An armature is provided which can be adjusted by a reversible magnetic field for deflecting the contact spring into the respective end position. An additional spring is provided for biasing the contact spring into the first end position, wherein the additional spring is supported, at least in the first end position, on the armature or on an actuator of the armature.

Relay comprising a contact spring which closes or interrupts an electric circuit between a first and a second relay contact, one end of the contact spring being conductively connected to the first relay contact and its other free end closing or interrupting the electric circuit in a first end position of the contact spring and in a second end position of the contact spring, respectively;
- an armature which can be adjusted by a reversible magnetic field for deflecting the contact spring into the respective end position;
- and an additional spring biasing the contact spring into the first end position, wherein the additional spring is supported, at least in the first end position, on the armature or on an actuator of the armature and mounted to a free end of the contact spring.

- an armature which can be adjusted by a reversible magnetic field for deflecting the contact spring into the respective end position;
- and an additional spring biasing the contact spring into the first end position, wherein the additional spring is supported, at least in the first end position, on the armature or on an actuator of the armature and wherein a free end of the additional spring projects past the free end of the contact spring.
Relay comprising a contact spring which closes or interrupts an electric circuit between a first and a second relay contact, one end of the contact spring being conductively connected to the first relay contact and its other free end closing or interrupting the electric circuit in a first end position of the contact spring and in a second end position of the contact spring, respectively;
- an armature which can be adjusted by a reversible magnetic field for deflecting the contact spring into the respective end position;
- and an additional spring biasing the contact spring into the first end position, wherein the additional spring is supported, at least in the first end position, on the armature or on an actuator of the armature the additional spring being formed as leaf spring, the actuator being disposed such that it can be linearly displaced in the direction of deflection of the contact spring, and the actuator is directly hinged to the armature.
