Dual-coil mechanical latching (bistable relay)

Apply pulse to RESET coil → contacts reset and latch.

Avantages: Zero steady-state power consumption. Ideal for power, energy storage and signal circuits requiring state retention after power loss.

Distinction: MM2K = bare relay without housing; MM2KP = cased P type; MM2XKP = enhanced version for DC loads.

✅ Typical Application Scenarios

Surveillance de l'alimentation, relay protection circuits, signal memory circuits

Building fire protection, emergency power supply, energy storage control

Remote maintained switches, state latching for primary/secondary circuits

Suitable for applications requiring switch state retention and prohibiting continuous coil energization.

OMRON MM2KP Mechanical Latching Relay Operating Principle

MM2KP is a dual-coil mechanically latched bistable relay. The key difference from conventional relays: Coils are energized only during state transition. No continuous power required in steady state. Contact state is locked by internal mechanical latch and magnetic structure, retained after power loss.

Structure interne

Two independent coils: SET coil and RESET coil, electrically separated. Armature coupled with mechanical latch assembly + DPDT (2C) contact sets.

SET coil: Drives mechanism to switch contacts to NO closed position and latch.

RESET coil: Reverse drive to release latch, contacts return to NC position.

Full Operating Sequence

1. Initial reset state

Mechanical latch stays at reset position: NC closed, NO open. Les deux bobines sont hors tension. State maintained purely by mechanical latch with zero coil power consumption.

2. SET operation (SET pulse)

Apply pulse ≥100ms to SET coil (DC/AC available). Electromagnetic force pulls armature and flips mechanical latch to locked position.

Contacts switch: NO closed, NC open.

After pulse termination and SET coil de-energized, mechanical latch holds position without rebound.

DC version operate time ≤60ms; AC version ≤30ms.

3. RESET operation (RESET pulse)

Apply pulse ≥100ms to RESET coil. Electromagnetic force pushes armature in reverse direction to release mechanical latch.

Contacts return to initial state: NO open, NC closed.

After RESET coil de-energized, mechanical latch retains reset state again.

✅ Critical rule: SET and RESET coils must not be energized simultaneously. Concurrent energization will result in SET state, which is an invalid drive condition and prohibited in circuit design.

Comparison with conventional relays & permanent magnet bistable relays

1. Standard electromagnetic relay: Contact closed only when coil continuously energized; contacts release immediately after power loss, state lost.
2. MM2KP: Mechanical latch is the primary holding mechanism; magnetic force only toggles the latch. Zero steady-state power, state retention after power loss. Mixed coil voltages are available (par exemple. SET AC220V, RESET DC24V).
3. Permanent magnet bistable relay: State held by permanent magnet, no mechanical latch.

Core Electrical Key Points (Engineering Focus)

Minimum pulse width: 100MS. Shorter pulse causes unreliable occasional failure of SET/RESET.

Coils are pulse-only driven. Prolonged continuous energization will overheat and burn coils.

Bistable characteristic: State changes only upon receiving opposite pulse. Contact status remains unchanged during power drop and power reboot.

Terminal Logic Summary (PL11 11-pin socket)

SET coil: one pair of terminals

RESET coil: separate pair of terminals

Contacts: 2 sets DPDT (Commun C, Normalement ouvert NON, Normalement fermé NC)

OMRON MM2KP Mechanical Latching Relay Application Scenarios

Core selection criteria: Pulse drive, conservation de l'état de mise hors tension, zero steady-state power consumption, DPDT transfer contacts, transparent cased housing + 11-pin socket mounting. Mainly used for memory and state latching circuits, widely adopted in power secondary systems.

1. Système d'alimentation (Demande principale)
2. Secondary signal memory circuit for HV/LV switchgear

Latching protection alarm: When fault triggers protection, protection device sends SET pulse. MM2KP latches alarm signal. Alarm remains active even if protection device loses power or fault disappears. RESET signal (manual or circuit) is required for reset, convenient for maintenance to trace transient faults.

2. Circuit breaker position memory & remote signalling retention circuit

Record circuit breaker open/close status. Switch position is preserved during temporary loss of DC control supply. Remote signalling state will not be lost after power restart.

3. Auxiliary latching circuit for relay protection

Model compliant with JEC-174D power auxiliary relay standard. Used for trip retention, interlock latching and fault signal circuits, replacing traditional mechanical signal relays.

4. DC panel, UPS & energy storage cabinet state latching

Latch overvoltage, undervoltage and battery fault signals; fault record retained after power outage.

2. Fire Protection & Emergency Power Systems
3. Fire linkage signal memory: Triggered by fire alarm pulse, linkage output latched. Linkage state preserved after fire host power cycle, réinitialisation manuelle requise.
4. EPS emergency power supply, Armoire ATS: Fault state latching to record switching events.
5. Automatisation industrielle & Contrôle des équipements
6. Equipment fault memory, shutdown latching circuit

Machines-outils, lignes de production, pompe & valve units: Surcharge / emergency stop triggers SET pulse to latch shutdown. Equipment will NOT automatically resume operation after power restart until manual reset, améliorer la sécurité.

2. State feedback circuit for remotely pulsed actuators (vannes, dampers).
3. Test benches and trial equipment: One-shot event memory to record trigger events.
4. Transport ferroviaire & Distribution d'énergie du bâtiment
5. Audible & visual alarm latching circuit for ring main units and power distribution rooms.
6. Power cabinets in metro / tunnel applications, event state retention during temporary power interruption.

✅ Selection Limitations (Notes d'ingénierie, Applications inappropriées)

1. Not for high-speed cycling: Max rated 1800 opérations/heure, not applicable for high-frequency switching.
2. Contrôle du pouls uniquement: Continuous energization of SET/RESET coils is forbidden, coil burnout will occur.
3. Évaluation des contacts: AC220V 5A, DC24V 4A. Not for high-current main circuits; only suitable for secondary signal circuits.
4. Ambiant: -10~+55℃, condensation non autorisée.

✅ Replacement Guidelines

Frequent DC load switching (DC110V): Select MM2XKP (enhanced contact model for DC)

More contact sets required: MM3KP (3 transfer contacts), MM4KP (4 transfer contacts)
