Abstract
Embodiments of switches () include electrically-conductive housings (), and electrical conductors () suspended within and electrically isolated from the housings (). Another electrical conductor () is configured to move between a first position at which the electrical conductor () is electrically isolated from the electrical conductors () within the housings (), and a second position at which the electrical conductor () is in electrical contact with the electrical conductors () within the housings (). The switches () further include an actuator () comprising an electrically-conductive base () and an electrically-conductive arm () having a first end restrained by the base (). The electrical conductor () is supported by the arm (), and the arm () is operative to deflect and thereby move the electrical conductor () between its first and second positions.
