A star-delta contactor in which a traveling contact is provided with a pair of contact bases which are formed as a slide metal. The contact bases perform a seesaw movement in a direction where their mutual end portions are engaged and are bent at the connection portion in a direction where their mutual end portions are separated, and each of traveling iron cores of two electromagnets m1, m2 has an operation frame for respectively operating a pair of the traveling contact bases, and a spring is provided for respectively separating the traveling iron core when the electromagnet is deenergized.
