    In the world of electrical engineering and automation, the bistable relay is an often-overlooked but incredibly efficient component that is steadily gaining attention for its role in energy-saving applications. Unlike traditional relays that require continuous power to maintain their state, the bistable relay (also known as a latching relay) is capable of staying in a given state without consuming additional energy, making it a game-changer in many industries. This article explores the features, working principle, benefits, and applications of bistable relays.

    What is a Bistable Relay?
    A bistable relay is an electromagnetic relay that has two stable states, typically referred to as "ON" and "OFF." Once the relay is activated, it switches between these two states, and it remains in the last state even after the control signal is removed. This ability to retain its state without constant power makes it different from conventional relays, which require continuous energy input to stay in one state. Bistable relays are commonly used in various applications, particularly in power-efficient and cost-effective systems.
