Abstract
A remotely actuable switch includes a housing defining a cavity having first and second thermally separated chambers, each enclosing a pair of spaced electrical contacts and each having an associated heating element. An electrically conductive fusible element occupies one of the chambers and electrically bridges the spaced contacts therein. To activate the switch the first heating element is activated to melt the fusible element, allowing a Lorentz force resulting from an applied external magnetic field and from current passing between the bridged contacts to expel the melted fusible material from the first chamber into the second chamber. A helical passage may be used as an alternative to a cavity with discrete chambers.
