To provide an electromagnetic relay having a reduced size, high conductivity, a high insulating performance between two fixed contact terminals and between each of the fixed contact terminals and backstop, a small number of factors causing a failure, and high reliability of electric contact. An electromagnetic relay has an electromagnetic block provided with a movable contact springswung by current flowing in a coil, two fixed contact terminalsandeach having a fixed contact, a backstophaving two movable contact abutment portions, and a base blockfor retaining the above components. The base blockhas a base portionhaving substantially a rectangular shape, fixed contact terminal retaining portionsandextending vertically from two opposing sides of the rectangle so as to retain the two fixed contact terminals, and a backstop retaining portionextending vertically from the center portion of one of the remaining two opposing sides of the rectangle.
