ABSTRACT:
An AC current electromagnetic relay is disclosed herein. The relay comprises a U-shaped armature with arms connected by a web and a generally E-shaped yoke with an elongated center leg and shortened side legs extending from a common base, the elongated center leg serving as a core around which a coil and a shading ring are disposed. The U-shaped armature is placed on the yoke with the free end edges of the arms being pivotally supported on the respective side legs of the yoke, so that upon the energization of the coil the armature is pulled toward the yoke and abuts against the respective free end portions of the side legs and the center leg, such free end portions being cooperative to define apexes of a triangle. Thus, a three-point contact can be attained between the armature and the yoke. With this arrangement of the three-point contact, the armature is allowed to abut simultaneously against all the three contacting faces at the free end portions of the respective legs, even if these contacting faces are out of exact alignment in the same plane, whereby effecting stable contact between the armature and the yoke. Accordingly, the relay can assure stable and intimate contact of the armature with the yoke for preventing chattering and beating at the time of energizing the coil, while allowing the employment of the yoke having possible misalignment of the contacting faces at the free end portions of yoke.
