A relay terminal includes a plurality of relays, a connector for entering control signals to control the relays and outputting contact inputs from their relay contacts, and a terminal block corresponding to the input and output signals of the relays, which are held as a single unit. The holding construction of the plurality of relays and the terminal block employs a two step overlapping holding construction in which the relays are held in an upper step and the terminal block is held in a lower step, resulting in a reduction in the width of the relay terminal and an increase in a package density when the relay terminal is mounted on a vertical installation wall within a control panel.

An electromagnetic relay has a core and yoke that are securely attached to the base of the relay with a high degree of precision so that the operating characteristics of the relay do not vary. To this end, two bosses are provided near the lower edge on the inner surface of a hole in a spool of the relay. The bosses are symmetrical with respect to a center line of the spool.
