A small independent thermal overload
relay comprises a shell, a wiring
system, a
bimetallic strip, a guide plate structure and an actuating mechanism, the wiring
system comprises a plurality of wiring units, and each wiring unit comprises a first wiring terminal, a first contact plate, a second contact plate and a second wiring terminal. The first wiring terminal and the second wiring terminal are arranged on the two sides of the
bimetallic strip in the length direction of the shell, and the
bimetallic strip is electrically connected between the first contact plate and the second contact plate. According to the small-sized independent thermal overload
relay, the wiring
system, the guide plate structure and the actuating mechanism are arranged along the height direction of the shell, the plurality of wiring units are arranged along the width direction of the shell, and the contact plate, the wiring terminal and the bimetallic strip are arranged along the length direction of the shell, so that the overall structure of the thermal overload
relay is compact and ordered; and the wiring terminal of the wiring unit is connected with the
contactor for use through wiring, so that the thermal overload relay can be independently installed and is suitable for contactors of different models.
