Abstract
The present invention relates to a contact assembly for a relay for switching high load currents having at least one switch contact and a braid having at least one braid end, which are electrically conductively connected to each other by a connection element. Further, the invention relates to a relay for switching high load currents with a contact assembly. Finally, the invention relates to a method for mounting a relay for switching high load currents. For the simple, electrically conductive connection of the braid and the switch contact without the contact assembly produced requiring much space within the relay, it is provided in accordance with the invention that the connection element is equipped with a contact portion directly connected to the switch contact and with a connection strap connected to the braid end, wherein the connection strap is inclined relative to the contact portion.
