Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0157901A1] The invention relates to a microrelay that comprises a switch element (9) suspended on a substrate (1) so as to be pivotable. Said switch element can be displaced, like a rocker, between two alternative switch modes by electrostatic attraction by means of suitably mounted electrodes (51, 52, 6). The switch is actuated by electrodes (31, 32) that are mounted on the substrate above the rocker and that are short-circuited by metallizations (71, 72) on the upper side of the switch element.
