A relay comprises a yoke, an armature, a movable contact spring having a movable contact, at least one stationary contact mounted thereon, and a core. An air damper is mounted on a free end of the movable spring, or on a free end of the armature, to reduce sound generated by the impulsive force of the movable contact and the impulsive force of the armature.
