Abstract:
1. A controllable electronic switch, comprising: a pair of opposing elongate deformable members for controllably separating a pair of electrical contacts by each being independently deformed under different conditions, and thereby connecting and disconnecting an incoming power signal from a load; and a resting member disposed between said elongate deformable members, such that when either elongate deformable member bends, the opposing elongate deformable member is inhibited from following the bending elongate deformable member; wherein the first of the pair of opposing elongate deformable members is deformed under an over-current condition while the second of the pair of opposing elongate deformable members remains stationary; and wherein the second of the pair of opposing elongate deformable members is deformed by heating in response to a control signal while the first of the pair of opposing elongate deformable members remains stationary.
