Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Relais mit einem Sockel, einem mittig gelagerten Anker, einer Kontaktfeder, die an einem mittleren Abschnitt mit dem Anker (2) verbunden ist, so daß die Kontaktfeder (3) und der Anker (2) eine gemeinsame Lagerachse besitzen, und die an ihren freien Enden (4) Brückenkontakte (5) trägt. Das Relais ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Kontaktfeder (3) auf jeder Seite der Lagerachse einen Kontaktarm (6) bildet, der jeweils zwischen der Lagerachse und dem freien Ende (4) einen durch Verengungen gebildeten Torsionssteg (7) aufweist. Die Erfindung ist vorteilhaft, weil Höhentoleranzen der Festkontakte ausgeglichen werden können, ohne daß dadurch der Aufbau der Kontaktfeder (3) aufwendiger wird oder der Strompfad lang, so daß sich der Durchgangswiderstand erhöht.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a relay with a base, a centrally mounted armature, a contact spring which is connected at a central portion to the armature (2) so that the contact spring (3) and the armature (2) have a common bearing axis, and which carries at its free ends (4) bridge contacts (5). The relay is characterized in that the contact spring (3) forms a contact arm (6) on each side of the bearing axis, which has a torsion bar (7) formed by constrictions between the bearing axis and the free end (4). The invention is advantageous because height tolerances of the fixed contacts can be compensated without the structure of the contact spring (3) becoming more complex or the current path being long, so that the volume resistance increases.
