Abstract
A PCB relay comprising a housing having a bottom side, a top side and a circumferential wall and terminal pins protruding from the bottom side for being contacted to a printed circuit board. For conducting heavy load currents from the relay contacts and away from the printed circuit board in a quick manner and via a short pathway, at least two conducting strips are fastened to the circumferential wall of the housing, extending from the bottom side to the top side. The strips form soldering pins at the bottom end thereof and quick-connect plugs or terminals at the top end thereof. An electrically conducting connection between the strips and the terminal pins of the relay may be formed on the PCB or, alternatively, the elements may be directly connected to one another.
