2. Miniature snap-action switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_snap-action_switch

   Comparison of some different switches. A miniature snap-action switch, also trademarked and frequently known as a micro switch or microswitch, is an electric switch that is actuated by very little physical force, through the use of a tipping-point mechanism, sometimes called an "over-center" mechanism.

3. Piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_micro...

   The first reported piezoelectrically actuated RF MEMS switch was developed by scientists at the LG Electronics Institute of Technology in Seoul, South Korea in 2005. [3] The researchers designed and actualized a RF MEMS switch with a piezoelectric cantilever actuator that had an operation voltage of 2.5 volts. [7]

4. Radio-frequency microelectromechanical system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_micro...

   A capacitive fixed-fixed beam RF MEMS switch, as shown in Fig. 1(a), is in essence a micro-machined capacitor with a moving top electrode, which is the beam. It is generally connected in shunt with the transmission line and used in X- to W-band (77 GHz and 94 GHz) RF MEMS components. An ohmic cantilever RF MEMS switch, as shown in Fig. 1(b), is ...

5. Switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

   Switches can be designed to respond to any type of mechanical stimulus: for example, vibration (the trembler switch), tilt, air pressure, fluid level (a float switch), the turning of a key , linear or rotary movement (a limit switch or microswitch), or presence of a magnetic field (the reed switch). Many switches are operated automatically by ...

6. Nanoelectromechanical systems - Wikipedia

   A major disadvantage of MEMS switches over NEMS switches are limited microsecond range switching speeds of MEMS, which impedes performance for high speed applications. Limitations on switching speed and actuation voltage can be overcome by scaling down devices from micro to nanometer scale. [ 30 ]

7. Level sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

   Pneumatic level sensors are used where hazardous conditions exist, where there is no electric power or its use is restricted, or in applications involving heavy sludge or slurry. As the compression of a column of air against a diaphragm is used to actuate a switch, no process liquid contacts the sensor's moving parts. These sensors are suitable ...
