Latching relay is really a generic term that is used to describe the type of relay that maintains its position after the power is removed. The reason latching relays are used is because they allow control of a circuit by providing a single pulse to a relay control circuit. They are also used when it is necessary to have a relay that will maintain its contact position during power interruptions, when power must be conserved.

There are many uses in today's electric devices for latching relays. These include industrial or commercial machines, such as car wash equipment that utilizes dryers and pumps. HVAC and refrigeration, anti-condensation equipment, industrial cleaning equipment are all excellent examples of equipment that utilizes latching relays. Commercial coffee machines and commercial cooking equipment also use 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 happens by energizing a second coil. Contacts then will remain locked in that position until the opposing coil has received energy. Impulse sequencing relays transfer contacts with each pulse.

Typically, impulse relays are made up of a magnetic latch relay and a solid state circuit that will determine which position the relay is in when power is applied, and then the opposite coil will be energized. The contacts will hold this position when the power is removed, and when the coils again receive energy, the cycle will start again.
