Low noise relay

摘要

In order to reduce acoustic noise, an electromagnetic relay (2) includes an insert or bump (20) located between a relay armature (4) and a relay core (8). The insert (20) is flexible and can be mounted on the armature (4). The insert (20) reduces noise by decelerating the armature (4) at impact with the core (8). The armature (4) can be tilted relative to a surface of the core (8) so that the insert (20) can be positioned away from a primary impact location between the core (8) and the armature (4).
