   Relays, Latching
  • latching relays are available that have two relaxed states (bistable). These are also called 'keep' relays. When the current is switched off, the relay remains in its last state. This is achieved either with a solenoid operating a ratchet and cam mechanism or by having two opposing coils with an over-center spring or permanent magnet to hold the armature and contacts in position while the coil is relaxed. In the ratchet and cam example, the first pulse to the coil turns the relay on and the second pulse turns it off. In the two coil example, a pulse to one coil turns the relay on and a pulse to the opposite coil turns the relay off. This type of relay has the advantage that it consumes power only for an instant, while it is being switched, and it retains its last setting across a power outage.
