Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011131168A1] The invention relates to a small bistable high-performance relay, comprising an insulating-material housing with a first housing chamber (1b) in which a single-phase contact module (4) with two busbars (8a, 8b) and a contact spring (13) are arranged, wherein the contact spring (13) is fixedly connected with one leg end to one of the busbars (8a) and acts with its other free leg end that carries at least one mobile contact (20) upon at least one fixed contact (21) located on the second busbar (8b), and wherein a bistable magnetic actuator module (3) having a pivotable armature (11) is arranged in a second housing chamber (1a), said armature deflecting the contact spring (13) by means of an output device (6; 23) arranged in the housing in order to close or interrupt a circuit via the busbars (8a, 8b). According to the invention, the contact module (4) and the actuator module (3) are arranged in one or two levels in the insulating-material housing, wherein the contact module (4) comprises a multi-layered contact spring (13) that is bent in a U shape to form an electrodynamic current loop while the actuator module (3) comprises a one-piece, U-shaped yoke (14) having at least one excitation coil (17) per yoke limb and a yoke center limb (16) supported by a flat permanent magnet (15) and on which is mounted a slightly V-shaped rocker armature (11).
