Abstract
Abstract Polarized relay with contact blade arranged within the coil body, and two yoke plates as counter contacts; a relatively large coupling surface between yoke and magnet, as well as an optimal space utilization for the magnet can be achieved with maximum exploitation of the relay cross section, by means of a four-pole magnet coupled at the front to the yoke plates or by means of two individual magnets.
