The utility model relates to a
relay and an electric meter. The
relay comprises an electromagnetic pushing
system, the electromagnetic pushing
system comprises a coil and an armature
assembly, the armature
assembly is located on one side of the coil in the first direction, and the axis direction of the coil is in the third direction; the
contact system is located on the third direction side of the electromagnetic pushing
system and comprises a static contact unit and a movable contact unit which are arranged in the third direction, the movable contact unit is connected with the armature
assembly, one end of the movable contact unit is fixed to the relative position of the static contact unit, and the other end of the movable contact unit is suitable for being driven by the armature assembly to be close to or away from the static contact unit; the terminal group is positioned on one side, deviating from the electromagnetic pushing system, of the
contact system and is connected with the static contact unit and the movable contact unit; wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the third direction. According to the invention, the space
layout of the
relay is more reasonable, the structure is more compact, the occupied space is effectively reduced, the relay can be better matched with other parts, and the applicability is good.
