CA 2399096

A MEM relay includes an actuator, a shorting bar disposed on the actuator, a contact substrate, and a plurality of liquid metal contacts are disposed on the contact substrate such that the plurality of liquid metal contacts are placed in electrical communication when the MEM relay is in a closed state. Further, the MEM relay includes a heater disposed on said contact substrate wherein said heater is in thermal communication with the plurality of liquid metal contacts. The contact substrate can additionally include a plurality of wettable metal contacts disposed on the contact substrate wherein each of the plurality of wettable metal contacts is proximate to each of the plurality of liquid metal contacts and each of the wettable metal contacts is in electrical communication with each of the plurality of liquid metal contacts.

Cette invention concerne un relais micro-électromécamique (MEM) (110') comprenant un actionneur, une tige court-circuit (52) disposée sur l'actionneur, un substrat de contact et une pluralité de contacts métalliques liquides (126, 128) disposés sur le substrat de contact de telle sorte que la pluralité des contacts métalliques liquides sont en communication électrique lorsque le relais MEM est fermé. De plus, le relais MEM comprend un élément chauffant (129, 129') disposé sur ledit substrat de contact, en liaison thermique avec la pluralité de contacts métalliques liquides. Le substrat de contact peut comporter en outre une pluralité de contacts métalliques mouillables (125, 127) disposés sur le substrat de contact. Chacun de ces contacts mouillables se trouve à proximité de chacun des contacts métalliques liquides (126, 128) avec lequel il est en liaison électrique.
