Electromagnetic relay

Abstract

An electromagnetic relay including a base, an electromagnet incorporated to the base, an armature movably arranged relative to the electromagnet, and a contact section incorporated to the base to be actuated by the armature. The electromagnet includes a bobbin, a coil having a center axis and carried on the bobbin, and a pair of coil terminals mounted to the bobbin. Each of the coil terminals is provided with a first end region and a second end region, extending in respective directions transverse to each other. The coil terminals are disposed in such a manner that respective first end regions extend in a direction transverse to the center axis of the coil to project outward from the bobbin and are arranged side-by-side in a row extending substantially parallel to the center axis, and that respective second end regions extend in a direction parallel to the center axis of the coil to project outward from the bobbin and are arranged side-by-side in a row extending substantially transverse to the center axis. The opposite wire ends of the coil are connected respectively to the second end regions.
