Abstract
A relay for use particularly in motor vehicles has a stable ferromagnetic core, an excitation coil wound around the core, a movable assembly composed of at least one movable ferromagnetic armature, a flexible foil or leaf spring fixed at a determined point of the movable armature and a contact. The relay also includes a return spring to maintain a maximum air gap for the armature with respect to the core when the device is in a release condition. At least one closure and/or opening contact is activated by the movable armature, through its contact when it is drawn or released by the core. An intermediate support element for the flexible foil is provided on one of the elements of the movable assembly.
