A electromagnetic relay in which bad electrical contact and failure of operation are prevented even when shavings are produced while an iron core is press-fitted into and mounted on a base. The electromagnetic relay includes an electromagnetic block supported by press-fitting both ends of an iron core of the electromagnetic block into an upper surface of a base and open or close a contact by a movable iron piece rotated by magnetization or demagnetization of the iron core with a coil, where shaving receptacles are made by forming separating ribs adjacent to at least one side of press-fit projections that are formed in press-fit concave portions provided on the upper surface of the base.
