A relay for use particularly in motor vehicles has a stable ferromagnetic core, an excitation coil wound around the core and a movable assembly, composed by a movable ferromagnetic armature, connected to a blade carrying an electric contact. The blade is movable with respect to the armature and has a fulcrum in an appropriate seat obtained in the armature. The blade is constrained to the armature in an elastic fashion, but is suitable to produce a damping effect on the bouncing phenomenon. The relay also has a return spring to maintain the assembly in a position of maximum air gap with respect to the stable core, when the device is in a release condition, whereby a leaf spring is provided, being fixed in a predetermined point of the movable armature, which constrains for elastic reaction the movement of the movable blade and maintains the desired pressure contact on the electric contact.

Relay with a movable assembly having a dampening effect

A device is described, for the connection, both mechanical and electrical, of a terminal of electric and/or electronic components. The device has a contact element which is permanently elastic, made of a foil of electrically conductive material, said contact element including an insertion zone for the terminal defined by two opposite hemisurfaces, and a flexion slot of the two hemisurfaces, contiguous to the contact zone, for allowing the insertion of the terminal in a stressed condition of the hemisurfaces within the limits of elasticity of the material constituting the foil.
