PURPOSE: To provide a switch mechanism having a high reliability for a long period by forming a movable contact in a V-letter form to be engaged with two immovable terminals for bridging a gap between the terminals. CONSTITUTION: A movable contact, that is a short-circuitting bar 1, is a V-shaped element of gold-plated silver alloy, and the short-circuitting bar 1 is applied to a plate spring 3. The plate spring 3 is a flat spring supported between two support posts 16, and both ends 3A of it are freely movable. In a normal switch-opened condition, the plate spring 3 is bent in such directions that both its center part and the short-circuitting bar 1 get apart from immovable contacts 10, 12 respectively connected to terminals 11, 13. A compression spring 4 compressed between the bent plate spring 3 and a support bracket 5. The plate spring 3 is held in the bent condition, and the spring 4 is held in a condition compressed by length of a stopper wire 2 comprising Ni-Cr-Al. This wire 2 is wound around a ceramic spool 6 installed on the movable contact 1 through the compression spring 4, and both ends of it are installed on contact terminals 7, 8. COPYRIGHT: (C)1990,JPO

A separated MEMS thermal actuator is disclosed which is largely insensitive to creep in the cantilevered beams of the thermal actuator. In the separated MEMS thermal actuator, a inlaid cantilevered drive beam formed in the same plane, but separated from a passive beam by a small gap. Because the inlaid cantilevered drive beam and the passive beam are not directly coupled, any changes in the quiescent position of the inlaid cantilevered drive beam may not be transmitted to the passive beam, if the magnitude of the changes are less than the size of the gap.
