Abstract
An inexpensive electromagnetic relay with a simple configuration is provided which does not require a sliding core to attain the desired operating characteristics. The electromagnetic relay includes a movable component which is supported on an upper end of a coil block in a way that the movable component can freely rotate. The movable component further comprises a movable contact element and a movable iron member. The movable contact element and the movable iron member are isolated from each other by a retainer. The movable contact element, movable iron member and retainer all form a single piece. The retainer further comprises a first retainer portion for retaining the movable contact element, and a second retainer portion for retaining the movable iron member. The first and second retainer portions are also formed into a single piece.
