Abstract
Thermal switch technology is disclosed. In one example, a thermally activated switch can include an electronic substrate base, and first and second electrical contacts coupled to the electronic substrate base. The first and second electrical contacts can be movable relative to one another due to thermal expansion or contraction of a material to facilitate contact or separation of the first and second electrical contacts.
Claims26
A thermally activated switch, comprising:
- an electronic substrate base;
