The utility model relates to a
relay. At least one of the outer side part of a first contact part and the outer side part of a second contact part is provided with a first avoiding part for avoiding each other. When the first contact part and the second contact part are separated from each other or are in contact with each other so that an
electric arc is generated at the contact unit, a
magnetic field formed by the first permanent
magnet can play a traction role on the
electric arc, and arc blowing and arc
discharge effects are achieved. The
electric arc moves along the contact surface of the contact unit, when the electric arc moves to the first avoiding part, the first avoiding part can play a role in separating, lengthening and blocking the electric arc, and the arcing time is shortened. Besides, the first avoiding part is arranged according to the magnetic blow-out path, so that the positions of the first contact part and the second contact part are relatively controllable, meanwhile, the contact area is relatively small, the position of an arcing point is more controlled, and the arc
isolation effect is obvious. Besides, the defects that the inner cavity is ablated by an electric arc and the
relay explodes and the like can be effectively avoided, the product performance can still be ensured even under the condition of
high load, and the
failure probability of the product can be reduced.
