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.
