ABSTRACT:
A compact high current relay is provided having first and second fixed contacts connected in circuit relationship with the apparatus to be controlled; an elongated bus bar having first and second movable contacts at opposite ends of the bus bar, the bus bar characterized by a stiffness such that upon application of a first predetermined force to the bus bar, between the contacts, the movable contacts both tilt and wipe with respect to the first and second fixed contacts; and a solenoid connected to the bus bar between the first and second contacts for exerting a force on the bus bar greater than the predetermined force.
