Abstract
A latching relay may be shown and described. The latching relay may use a reed switch, a permanent magnet and a coil. The permanent magnet may be magnetized by pulsing current through the coil, and demagnetized by degaussing current. Also, the magnetized magnet may maintain an activated state of the reed switch, and the demagnetized magnet may maintain a deactivated state of the reed switch.
