As the core component that controls the on / off switching of high-voltage circuits, the reliability and safety of relays are crucial. Conventional electromagnetic relays use a metal base plate, which is sintered to the glass solder pins to form the base. This results in a short conductive distance between the solder pins and the base plate, leading to deficiencies in insulation and arc-extinguishing capabilities. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an electromagnetic relay with superior insulation performance and arc-extinguishing capabilities. Summary of the Invention

This prevents the conductive components inside the relay from breaking through the base plate under high-voltage environments, and prevents the conductive components inside the relay from breaking through each other, ensuring the safety of the relay in high-voltage environments. This improves the dielectric withstand voltage capability of the relay, and further improves the insulation performance and arc extinguishing capability of the relay, while also increasing the load voltage of the relay.
