Abstract

A multi-phase electromagnetic relay includes a base, lead-out structures and movable-static contact matching structures. Each of lead-out structures includes an input terminal and an output terminal. One movable-static contact matching structure is provided between the input and the output terminals in each of the plurality of lead-out structures. The input and output terminals are respectively led out from the first and second side walls of the base. The input and output terminals bent to the outside of the third side wall of the base, and in a non-crossed and spaced manner. The external connection ends of the input and output terminals are outside the third side wall and are arranged a row parallel to the third side wall. The input and output terminals are respectively arranged at corresponding positions on two sides of the same row. The third side wall is connected between the first and second side walls.
