A contactor has two contact elements () each having a contact member () adapted to bear with the contact side () thereof against a said contact side of the other contact member for enabling an electric current to flow between said to contact elements. The contact sides of both contact members are provided with serration's () extending so that elongated ridge-like peaks () of serration's of one said contact side intersect such peaks of the other said contact side while forming a plurality of spots of mutual contact of these contact sides distributed over the area of said contact sides.

Serrated contact members

A contactor having electromagnetically operated contacts, wherein main contacts and connections for power supply are arranged in a bottom area of the contactor and contact control means such as electric magnet and coil are arranged above the main contacts. The contactor includes a contactor enclosure being sequentially detachable in two dependent, successive steps through a locking element utilized by both.steps, such that in a first step access is provided to the contactor main contacts, and in a second step access is provided to the electric magnet and coil. The locking element is formed to engage a first and second arresting seat defined in the contactor enclosure. The arresting seats are arranged to urge the locking element into engagement with the second arresting seat as the locking element is released from engagement with the first arresting seat.

Contactor

A contact element of a relay, operative for closing and breaking a power supply circuit, respectively, and comprising a contact element ( ) for establishing a current path over a pair of connection means ( ) in the circuit closing mode, the contact element being received in a socket ( ) that is arranged to be movable relative to the relay, and a spring element ( ) is operative for holding the contact element in the socket such that the contact element is detachable from the socket against the action of said spring element, in a circuit breaking mode.
