Abstract:
1. An electromechanical relay comprising: an electrically conductive terminal formed within a multi-layered printed circuit board; an electrically conductive contact; a magnetic actuator associated with the electrically conductive contact, the magnetic actuator comprising (i) a magnetic core within at least one via extending through one or more layers of the multi-layered printed circuit board, and (ii) an electrical coil disposed around at least a portion of the magnetic core and formed from one or more patterned metallic layers of the multi-layered printed circuit board; and a metallic plane formed on one layer of the multi-layered printed circuit board, wherein the magnetic core of the magnetic actuator directly contacts the metallic plane; wherein the metallic plane and the electrically conductive contact comprise a transmission line, wherein activation of the magnetic actuator causes electrical contact between the terminal and the electrically conductive contact, and wherein the electrically conductive terminal comprises a transmission line formed within one or more layers of the multi-layered printed circuit board.
