Latching relays are used when it is necessary for contacts to stay open and/or closed, even though the coil is momentarily energized.
Latching Relays
Electromechanical switches that maintain their position (on or off) after being actuated, until they receive another specific actuation signal.
Momentarily Energized
Describes a circuit, component, or system that is powered or switched on for a brief period before returning to a de-energized state.

Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
Latching relays have two stable states and will remain in the last state until the coil is energized again, causing it to switch to the opposite state. This allows the contacts to stay open or closed without continuous power to the relay coil.
