In one embodiment, a method for reducing signal noise in a relay having pass-through and attenuator circuits which are alternately closed by operation of an armature assembly of the relay is disclosed. In accordance with the method, the armature assembly is provided with a grounding portion. The grounding portion of the armature assembly is oriented to make contact with the pass-through circuit when the attenuator circuit is closed, but not when the pass-through circuit is closed.
22 Micro relay of which movable contact remains separated from ground contact in non-operating state US10305119 2002-11-27 US06828888B2 2004-12-07 Hideki Iwata; Hirofumi Saso
A micro relay is provided including a movable contact, a stationary contact, and a ground contact opposed to the movable contact. In an operating state, the movable contact touches the ground contact when the movable contact separates from the stationary contact. In a non-operating state, the movable contact remains separated from the ground contact so that the movable contact does not stick to the ground contact. Since no parasitic capacitance is formed between the stationary contact and the movable contact, the isolation property of the micro relay is improved.

A switch comprises voltage applying means for providing direct current potentials to first to third beams arranged with a spacing slightly distant one from another, and electrodes for inputting/outputting signals to/from the beams. By controlling the direct current potential provided to the beam, an electrostatic force is caused to thereby change the beam positions and change a capacitance between the beams. By causing an electrostatic force between the first and second beams and moving the both beams, the first and second beams can be electrically coupled together at high speed. Also, an electrostatic force is caused on the third beam arranged facing to the first and second beams, to previously place it close to the first and second beams. When the electrostatic force is released from between the first and second beams, the second beam moves toward the third beam thereby releasing the first and second beams of an electric coupling.

Disclosed herein is a relay having a first circuit, a second circuit, a ground, an electromagnetic actuator assembly, and an armature assembly. The armature assembly is movable between first and second positions with respect to the first and second circuits, and is controlled by the electromagnetic actuator assembly. Movement of the armature assembly to its first position allows current to flow through the first circuit. Movement of the armature assembly to its second position couples the first circuit to the ground and allows current to flow through the second circuit. The ground may be embodied in an extension of the armature assembly that contacts the first circuit when the armature assembly moves to its second position, or the ground may be embodied in a biased conductor that is moved into contact with the first circuit when the armature assembly moves to its second position.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a switch capable of reducing a response time and reducing a voltage being applied. SOLUTION: A switch comprises voltage applying means for respectively providing direct current potentials to first to third beams 1 to 3 arranged with a spacing slightly distant one from another, and electrodes 4 to 9 for inputting/outputting AC signals to/from the respective beams. The positions of the respective beams 1 to 3 are changed by an electrostatic force so as to change a capacitance between the beams 1 to 3. By causing an electrostatic force between the first and second beams 1 and 2 and moving the both beams, the first and second beams 1 and 2 can be electrically coupled together at high speed. Also, an electrostatic force is caused on the third beam 3 arranged facing to the second beam 2, to previously place it close to the first and second beams 1 and 2. When the electrostatic force is released from between the first and second beams 1 and 2, the second beam moves toward the third beam thereby releasing the electric coupling of the first and second beams.
