Hi,
I'm experimenting with getting some relays going for the first time. I picked up 5 of them and I'm looking into my options for setting them up.
I chose to toy with panasonic DS2Y-S-DC24V relays.http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Panasonic-Industrial-Devices/DS2Y-S-DC24V/?qs=HLLy2pIPwuueuYyfAMBQzQ%3D%3D
Now, I understand that in order to make a relay latch you have to power the coil so that the magnet draws in the switch but do you have to use a "latching" circuit or can you just just use a switch to either connect or disconnect the coil to power? is there a basic circuit or easy to understand literature that I should study?
How important is it to give your relay very clean and smoothed out DC? I'm just wondering what kind of power supply would work best without going overboard. You know, no hum/added noise without breaking the bank.
Thanks,
-JP
