Hi
I’m sure this is basic stuff but it’s something I’ve been struggling to understand so I’d appreciate any help or advice !
Am I right in thinking any relay such as this Beta BTA6-2C16-J-CW
https://www.beta.com.tw/download/downloadfile/9/1.htm
can be used to create a latching relay ? I’m trying to create a circuit that switches 230vac to a lamp . I’m using a momentary contact button as a start and a momentary closed as a stop. I’ve wired the 12v dc supply to the coil but I’m not sure how to wire everything else. I’ve wired the start button into the dc supply and connected the ac and the bulb via the other contacts . The bulb operates only when the start button is pressed , my understanding is that the relay can be wired so that the dc gets around the start button (once pressed) and keeps the coil energised . It’s this bit that I’m struggling with ! Any help gratefully received . Thanks , Jon
