In electronics, the holding current is the minimum current which must pass through the device in order for it to remain in the 'ON' state. See silicon controlled rectifier.
In electrophysiology, specifically while voltage clamping a cell, the holding current is the current that is passed into the cell in order to hold it at the command potential. See voltage clamping.
