• How Do Latching Relays Work

    A latching relay, which is a subtype of electromechanical or electromagnetic switch, commonly chosen in scenarios where the operator needs to control (either switch off or amplify) a large amount of current flow. The key components in a magnetic or ...

  • Differences Between Latching And Non-latching Relays

    Latching relays can be designed to operate using either a magnetic or a mechanical model. We’ve already touched on the fact that the core difference with latching relays, in comparison to other relay switch types, is their ability to hold and retain...

  • Latching Relays Are Bi-stable

    In the most simple terms an automotive relay is an electronically operated switch. The type most commonly used in the automotive industry is an electro-mechanically operated switch. They are found in all types of vehicles - cars, trucks, vans, traile...

  • Three Major Types Of Latching Relays

    There are three major types of latching relays, including mechanical, impulse sequencing, and magnetic. Mechanical latching relays use locking mechanisms to hold contacts in the last position until they receive information to change. This typically h...

  • Automotive Relay Is An Electronically Operated Switch

    In the most simple terms an automotive relay is an electronically operated switch. The type most commonly used in the automotive industry is an electro-mechanically operated switch. They are found in all types of vehicles - cars, trucks, vans, traile...

  • Automotive Relays Of All Shapes And Sizes Can Be Found

    Relays are switches controlled by electrical power, like another switch, computer or control module. The purpose of an automotive relay is to automate this power to switch electrical circuits on and off at particular times. However, the real benefit ...

  • Automotive Relays Are Electrically Operated Switches

    Automotive Relays are electrically operated switches used for automotive applications. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or w...

  • The Latching Relay Has A Small Metal Strip

    A relay is a type of electromechanical switch used in power supplies, counting systems and many other applications. It is used to control a large current with a small current. Most relays require a small continuous voltage to stay on. A latching rela...
