Innovative Force: Motor Latching Relay

As an electrical control device, relays are widely used in monitoring, telemetry, communication, automatic control, mechatronics, new energy vehicles, smart cities, etc. Relays can be divided into latching relays and non-latching relays. You can check the difference between them in our previous articles. The latching relays are divided into magnetic latching relays and motor latching relays. The essential difference is that the magnetic latching relays use the coil to generate magnetism to control the on-off of the circuit, while the motor relays rely on the internal motor to drive to control the on-off.

There is no denying that magnetic latching relays are widely used in electric meters and other markets. However, according to recent demand trends, the demand for motor relays has gradually increased and has gradually become an innovative force in the electronics industry! Then we will conduct further analysis on the characteristics of the motor relay.

First of all, as far as the magnetic immunity ability is concerned, the motor relay, such as our IM-M1202 internal motor has a metal shell. According to this feature, the motor relay has a 500mT magnetic immunity ability. As an industry elite, we believe that everyone know the importance of magnetic immunity: If there is a strong magnetic field around the latching relay, it will greatly affect the on-off control of the circuit, leading to wrong on-off, affecting industrial production and data measurement.

Secondly, the core of the motor relay's work is the internal small motor, which makes the motor relay has the characteristics of small size, space saving, internal optimization, high functionality, etc., making it indispensable in some specific situations, such as Din-rail meters. In many cases, a slightly larger magnetic latching relay, such as our IM-901, is also very popular.

Next, in terms of cost, for small and medium currents, such as 80A and 90A, the cost of magnetic latching relays and motor relays is similar, but when the current increases, such as 100A，120A, it comes with a 500mT magnetic immunity motor relay, such as our IM-M1202 ,the cost of relay will be better than that of a magnetic latching relay that needs to be customized to optimize product performance.

Finally, whether it is a magnetic latching relay or a motor latching relay, they are essential "cores" for monitoring, telemetry, communication, automatic control, mechatronics, new energy vehicles, and smart cities.
