Abstract
A power switching device is disclosed that achieves a complete, mechanical “on” and “off” electrical circuit. The device is a rapid micro-relay that comprises two separate systems: a control driving signal system and a voltage delivery system. Its electrostatic actuator and switching connectors are electrically separated, inhibiting interference between the two systems. The micro-relay can optionally be adapted to support multiple voltage delivery systems for separate circuits.
