A relay is an electrical switch that is operated by electrical pulses, their primary function is to open and close a circuit. When power passes through a circuit, a relay switches position (usually from NC to NO) using an internal coil which generates a magnetic force. This force then holds the relay in a NO position, when the current is switched off the relay returns to the NC position. This function is what makes these non-latching relays perfect for push-button applications such as keyboards and micro-controller input buttons.

Non-latching relays support a range of signal characteristics, ranging from low voltage or current to high voltage or current and from DC to GHz frequencies.

When a latching relay operates its contacts, the relay holds its position, even when the supply of its operating coil has been disconnected. When a non-latching relay operates its contacts, the relay will reset automatically once the supply of its coil is disconnected through the internal spring mechanism.

Do you need a versatile relay that offers flexible functionality? This 4PDT (four poles, double throw) relay from Phoenix Contact lets you control eight different outputs using one signal. When the relay module receives an electric current, its four poles switch from one contact to the other in each of the four circuits. Since this is a non-latching relay, the contacts return to their original normally open or normally closed positions when de-energised. Silver nickel increases the durability of the contacts and resists material transfer, extending the life of the relay.
Use this component to power multiple operations at once, for standby modes or to create safety backups. The unit comes pre-assembled with a relay base, power contact relay and retaining bracket. To make quick work of installation, it features a push-in connection with DIN rail mounting. This relay also has a yellow LED (light-emitting diode) operating voltage display.
