Abstract
A high-voltage switch is disclosed. The switch includes a substrate, a first contact fixedly coupled to the substrate, a second contact having a first position in conductive contact with the first contact and a second position not in conductive contact with the first contact; and an actuator comprising a body fixedly coupled to the substrate and a movable element coupled to the second contact. The actuator is configured to selectably move the second contact between its first and second positions. The switch has a breakdown voltage greater than or equal to 500V and does not include an arc suppression element.
