Electromagnetic contactor
An electromagnetic contactor in which a shock-absorbing member is integrally formed in a frame. The electromagnetic contactor includes a first frame in which an operating electromagnet is disposed and coil terminals which supply power to a coil of the electromagnet is formed to project from a side surface, and a second frame in which a contact mechanism having an auxiliary contact is disposed and has power source side terminals on one end side and load side terminals on the other end side, and in the first frame and the second frame, a snap fit is formed which can attach the second frame to the first frame in both of a normal direction coupled state where the coil terminals and the power source side terminals face the same direction and a reverse direction coupled state in which the coil terminals and the load side terminals face the same direction.
1. An electromagnetic contactor, comprising:
a first frame and a second frame which are made of a synthetic resin and coupled with each other;
an operating electromagnet in which a fixed core is fixed in the first frame and a movable core is disposed in the second frame;
shock-absorbing ribs integrally formed in a bottom portion of a bottomed tubular section of the first frame to support the fixed core of the operating electromagnet, and formed to individually support both end sides of the fixed core in a longitudinal direction, the shock-absorbing ribs including a first shock-absorbing rib disposed at a first end side of the fixed core and a second shock-absorbing rib disposed at a second end side of the fixed core; and
reinforcing ribs, disposed between the first shock-absorbing rib and the second shock-absorbing rib, to protrude from the bottom portion of the bottomed tubular section of the first frame to support the fixed core of the operating electromagnet.
2. The electromagnetic contactor according to claim 1 , wherein
the shock-absorbing ribs are configured to extend from the reinforcing ribs,
a width of each of the shock-absorbing ribs is narrower than a width of each of the reinforcing ribs, and
a height of each of the shock-absorbing ribs is higher than a height of each of the reinforcing ribs.
3. The electromagnetic contactor according to claim 2 , wherein a guide member which guides the fixed core is formed around the shock-absorbing ribs at a time of attaching the fixed core.
4. The electromagnetic contactor according to claim 1 , wherein a guide member which guides the fixed core is formed around the shock-absorbing ribs at a time of attaching the fixed core.
