(54) Relay


(57) A relay comprising a hollow, preformed housing (30) which locates, in preset positions, an armature - (14), a contact spring (17) and contact terminals - (19,21,23). The contact terminals project from one side of the housing for connection to a planar assembly board, and a solenoid coil (10) is located outside the housing on a side opposite the one side. The longitudinal axis (XX) of the coil is orthogonal to said one side and so to the plane of an assembly board to which the contact terminal may be connected.
