Abstract
An electromagnetic relay and method of fabrication, in accordance with the present invention, include a base defining a bottom plane, a motor assembly mounted on the base, the motor assembly including a bobbin, a core with at least one winding about the core and an electrical component for electrically coupling to the at least one winding, the electrical component having leads configured to relieve stress in the at least one winding at coupling portions to the at least one winding. An armature is supported to be movable about a predetermined point for movement between two contact operating positions. At least one contact assembly for selectively providing one of an open and closed circuit is included. At least one terminal member is mounted on the base having a distal end for electrically connecting an end of the winding with a source of energy, and a proximal end is formed by at least one depending leg to define a slot for receiving at least one lead of the electrical component.
