High Power Latching Relay NT95L-A-D-Z Series – 50A PCB Type Latching Relay
Product Overview
The NT95L-A-D-Z series is a high-performance Latching Relay (also known as a bistable relay) designed for demanding power switching applications up to 50A. Available in both DC12V and DC24V coil versions, this relay features a dual-coil magnetic latching mechanism that maintains its contact state without continuous coil power, significantly reducing energy consumption. With a compact PCB-mount design, low coil power dissipation (0.3~0.43W), and fast switching time (≤4ms), the NT95L-A-D-Z is the ideal choice for smart meters, EV charging stations, industrial power controls, and renewable energy systems. As a core product in YM's portfolio, this relay shares the same robust engineering found in our Metal Sealing Relay, Polarized Relay, PCB Board Relay, Automotive Relay, and Industrial Power Relay families, ensuring consistent quality and reliability.

How to Use the NT95L-A-D-Z Latching Relay – Step by Step
- Determine coil polarity & pulse width: The relay has two coils (set & reset). Apply a positive pulse (10-50ms) to the set coil to close the contacts; apply a positive pulse to the reset coil to open the contacts. Do not apply continuous voltage – pulse operation only.
- PCB footprint verification: Check the pinout diagram (available in the datasheet). The NT95L-A-D-Z follows standard PCB through-hole spacing – ensure correct hole alignment before soldering.
- Wave soldering / hand soldering: Recommended soldering temperature ≤260°C for ≤5 seconds. Avoid flux penetration into the sealed body.
- Initial cleaning (if required): Use only isopropyl alcohol or approved solvents – do not immerse the relay in ultrasonic baths.
- Functional test in circuit: Apply a short pulse (20ms typical) to the set coil and verify closed contact resistance (<100mΩ). Then apply a reset pulse and check open circuit insulation.
- System integration: For high-inductive loads (motors, solenoids), add external flyback diodes or snubbers to protect the relay contacts.
Pro tip: Because this is a Latching Relay, the state is remembered even after power loss – ideal for applications where fail-safe position retention is critical.
Application Scenarios & Key Benefits for Buyers
Primary Applications
- Smart energy meters (AMI / prepaid meters): The relay’s low coil power (0.3W) and latching feature enable utility-grade remote connect/disconnect without draining the meter’s backup battery.
- EV charging stations (AC & DC chargers): 50A contact rating matches Level 2 and DC fast charger output contactors, reducing heat buildup and improving efficiency.
- PV solar combiner boxes & battery storage: Bistable operation ensures minimal self-consumption – critical for off-grid systems.
- Industrial power supplies & UPS: Fast switching (≤4ms) and high dielectric strength provide reliable bypass or load transfer.
- Home energy management systems (HEMS): Compact size (<3g) allows dense PCB placement alongside Automotive Relay or Solid State Relay modules.
Direct Value to International Buyers
- Reduced system cost: Eliminate continuous coil drivers and heat sinks – save on BOM and assembly.
