Abstract
A relay is provided having a contact set that is disposed in a cover and in a spring bracket, wherein the rows of contacts are isolated by an isolation configuration comprising at least one fixed partition provided on the cover and at least one oppositely oriented fixed partition provided on the spring bracket, and additionally at least one movable actuator is disposed in the space between the cover and the spring bracket, wherein the isolation configuration comprises two mutually parallel and mutually spaced-apart partitions provided on the cover and one partition provided on the spring bracket engaging between the partitions provided on the cover.
Claims7
A relay having a contact set, first and second members, one of said members being a cover and in the other of said members being a spring bracket separated from the cover by a space, at least one movable actuator is disposed in the space between the cover and the spring bracket, and an isolation configuration, wherein the contact set is disposed between the cover and the spring bracket and the contact set has rows of contacts, wherein said isolation configuration separates said rows of contacts and comprises:
- two mutually parallel and mutually spaced apart fixed partitions provided on said first member and spaced from said second member;
- and
- at least one oppositely oriented fixed partition provided on said second member and spaced from said first member, and
- wherein, said isolation configuration is interposed between two of the rows of contacts, said at least one oppositely oriented fixed partition is interposed between said two mutually parallel and mutually spaced apart fixed partitions, and said partitions are disposed relative to one another to form an elongated electrical isolation path between said rows of contacts,
- said relay further comprising flanges having a length parallel to a plane in which said two mutually parallel and mutually spaced-apart partitions lie, wherein said flanges are integrally formed on the actuator and are disposed to retard burning of the contacts.
A relay having a contact set that is disposed between first and second members, one of the members being a cover and in the other of said members being a spring bracket, wherein the contact set is composed of first and second rows of contacts that are separated by an isolation configuration, said relay comprising:
- at least one fixed partition provided on the first member;
- at least one oppositely oriented fixed partition provided on the other member, and
- at least one movable actuator disposed in the space between the cover and the spring bracket,
- wherein the isolation configuration comprises:
- said at least one fixed partition comprising two mutually parallel and mutually spaced-apart partitions each having a free edge that is spaced from the second member,
- said at least one oppositely oriented fixed partition consisting of one oppositely oriented partition having a free edge that is spaced from the first member and engaging between the partitions provided on the cover, and
- said partitions are disposed relative to one another to form an elongated electrical isolation path between said rows of contacts,
- said relay further comprising flanges having a length parallel to a plane in which said two mutually parallel and mutually spaced-apart partitions lie, wherein said flanges are integrally formed on the actuator.
