Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1026718A2] An electrostatically controlled micro-relay device comprises a base (2) provided with a pair of separate electrodes (5, 6) and a petal (8) constituted by a conductive film having the ends connected to the base (2) and a movable part carrying a pair of movable contacts (10) adapted to co-operate with respective fixed contacts (11, 12) carried by the base (2). By applying an electric voltage between the petal (8) and one of electrode (5, 6) of the other, an adhesion is caused by electrostatically effect of one part of the petal to the base, which causes engagement of one or the other of the movable contacts (10) with the respective fixed contacts (11, 12). <IMAGE>
