Abstract
An electromagnetic relay consists of a structural member that defines a longitudinal plane and forms an interior protective space. Part of the member is a bobbin with a coil mounted on it situated around the space. The space extends the entire length of the member which is open at both ends. Fixed contacts extend into the protective space and a contact actuator is mounted in the space so as to extend along the bobbin while having a free end in proximity to the fixed contacts for cooperation therewith. Terminals are connected to the coil, to the actuator and to the fixed contacts. These terminals are embedded in and extending outwardly from the structural member on opposite sides thereof in the longitudinal plane. An outer protective casing is formed of two casing members sealed together generally in this plane, the casing and the structural member together forming a seal around each terminal. The open ends of the structural member are sealed. At one such end this seal is achieved by mutually cooperating surfaces of the structural member and the casing members.
