Abstract text

A coil former for an electromagnetic relay is configured to receive a core and a coil winding. The coil former includes a first coil flange, a second coil flange, and a cylindrical winding area for fixing a coil winding arranged between the first and second coil flange, wherein at least one of the coil flanges is shaped such that at least a portion of one coil flange sits flush with the winding area of the coil former in a region of a periphery of the coil former. Also, a coil body for an electromagnetic relay includes a base integrally connected to the coil former. The coil former or the coil body is formed such that, in the production thereof, it has no more than three demolding directions for a master mould.
