The hybrid relay may include a plurality of input and output terminals, and a
voltage supply terminal. The hybrid relay may also include an electromagnetic coil
connected to the input terminals and a latching mechanism that may include first
and second contacts movable between open and closed latched positions based upon
the electromagnetic coil. The first contact may be connected to the voltage supply
terminal so that the second contact provides a switched voltage supply. The hybrid
relay may also include an output transistor having a control terminal and having
conduction terminals connected to the output terminals of the hybrid relay. A transistor
driver may be connected between the switched voltage supply and the control terminal
of the output transistor.
