(54)	Spring contact unit for a relay with a rocker armature

(57) A spring contact unit has spring contacts (9) designed as bridge contacts and a spring element (7) located therebetween that are connected to the spring element in an insulated manner and the faces of the spring contacts are small, while the spring element is relatively large, as it contains resilient portions (10) for applying the contact force so the large-surface spring element (7) can be earthed to allow a spring contact unit suitable for high frequency.
