Micro-electromechanical system for e.g. aerospace field, has beam that is switched between open and closed positions to establish and break contact between two conductors, where positions correspond to beams` buckling positions

摘要

The system has a beam (111) and resistive units (121, 122, 132) to assure switching of a beam (110) between open and closed positions. An electrical continuity is established between two disjointed conductors (141, 142) in the closed position through contact between contact arms (151, 152) and the continuity is broken by spacing the arms in the open position. The open and closed positions correspond to buckling positions of beams.
