Where can I find an spdt latching relay w/ 2 opposed coils?

Happy New Year Everybody,

I’m looking for the part described above. Current is DC. A good rule of thumb is to assume that the lower the current to activate the relay the better, and the higher the current the relay *can* switch the better.

A very simplified schematic and functional description is located here:

I’ve spent hours looking at suppliers’ catalogs online, without finding a relay configured the way I want, and so, pinched between panic and despair I am seeking guidance from experts.

Keep safe,

Should be easy to find at any of the usual suspects – Digikey, Newark, McMaster Carr, etc., or the equivalent where you live. Try googling something like “spdt relay latch”.

Here’s a typical datasheet, from the first link I clicked, I think Digikey:

The 3rd schematic is identical, except the grounds on the actuating circuits are common. This would not affect your circuit much.
