First and second movable contacts are connected to a first movable contact piece. A second movable contact piece is provided separately from the first movable contact piece. Third and fourth movable contacts are connected to the second movable contact piece. A drive device moves the first movable contact piece and the second movable contact piece by moving a movable iron core by a magnetic force generated from a coil. In a state where the first to fourth movable contacts are contacts the first to fourth fixed contacts, respectively, the first movable contact piece and the second movable contact piece are electrically connected in parallel with the first fixed terminal and the second fixed terminal.

The movable iron core is connected to the moving member and is configured to move by a magnetic force generated by the coil. The moving member is made of resin having electrical insulation. The moving member includes a first member and a second member. The second member is connected to the first member by snap fitting. The first member includes a first protrusion. The second member includes a second main body, a first locking portion, and a first arm. The first locking portion locks to the first protrusion. The first arm connects the second main body and the first locking portion. A thickness of the first arm is smaller than a thickness of the first locking portion.

An electromagnetic relay includes a moving member, a yoke, a guide member, and a movable iron core. The yoke includes a plate portion and a yoke hole. The guide member is disposed in the yoke hole. The movable iron core is connected to the moving member. The movable iron core includes a tubular portion. The tubular portion includes a first end surface and a second end surface. The tubular portion is disposed in the guide member. The plate portion includes a first surface and a second surface. In a case where the moving member is located at the closed position, the first end surface is located within a range from a first position to a second position. The first position is a position corresponding to the first surface. The second position is located at a center of the first surface and the second surface.

A relay includes a fixed terminal, a fixed contact connected to the fixed terminal, a movable contact piece facing the fixed terminal, a movable contact, a card, and a drive unit configured to generate a driving force to operate the card. The movable contact is connected to the movable contact piece and faces the fixed contact. The card is made from resin and presses the movable contact piece to operate the movable contact piece. The card includes a first pressing portion and a second pressing portion. The first and second pressing portions are configured to contact the movable contact piece and press the movable contact piece. The second pressing portion is disposed apart from the first pressing portion in a width direction of the movable contact piece. The first and second pressing portions are disposed inside side edges of the movable contact piece in the width direction respectively.

A relay includes a fixed terminal, a fixed contact connected to the fixed terminal, a movable contact piece facing the fixed terminal, a movable contact, a drive unit including a coil and an armature operated by electromagnetic force generated from the coil, a card, and a wall disposed between the armature and the card. The movable contact is connected to the movable contact piece and faces the fixed contact. The card is disposed between the drive unit and the movable contact piece, and transmits an operation of the armature to the movable contact piece. The card includes a card body, a contact part, and a protrusion. The card body is disposed between the wall and a movable contact piece. The contact part extends from the card body toward the armature. The protrusion protrudes from the card body toward the wall and is disposed on a side of the contact part.

According to one or more embodiments, when a predetermined time has passed after generation of an arc at least either between a movable contact and a fixed contact or between a movable contact and a fixed contact, an arc generated between the movable contact and the fixed contact is extended by a magnetic field generation unit to be longer than an arc generated between the movable contact and the fixed contact.

An electromagnetic relay includes a base, an electromagnetic block disposed on an upper surface of the base, a movable iron piece that rotates based on excitation/non-excitation of the electromagnetic block, a movable contact piece that rotates integrally with the movable iron piece, a movable contact fixed to a free end of the movable contact piece, a fixed contact disposed so as to come into or out of contact with the movable contact in association with rotation of the movable contact piece, and a magnetic field generation unit disposed so as to attract an arc generated between the movable contact and the fixed contact in a direction that, as seen from the fixed contact, is opposite to the movable contact and the base.
