US Patent:
8436701, May 7, 2013
Filed:
Feb 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/701957
Inventors:
Christian Wilhelmus Baks - Poughkeepsie NY, US
Richard A. John - Yorktown Heights NY, US
Young Hoon Kwark - Chappaqua NY, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H01H 51/22
US Classification:
335 78, 200181
Abstract:
Electromechanical relays and semiconductor structures and microelectromechanical systems including at least part of an electromechanical relay are presented. For example, an electromechanical relay includes an electrically conductive terminal within a printed circuit board, one or more electrically conductive contacts, and one or more magnetic actuators. The one or more magnetic actuators are respectively associated with the one or more electrically conductive contacts and each magnetic actuator includes (i) a magnetic core within at least one via extending through one or more layers of the printed circuit board, and (ii) an electrical coil around at least a portion of the magnetic core and within one or more layers of the printed circuit board. Activation of the one or more actuators causes electrical contact between the terminal and an associated one of the one or more electrically conductive contacts.
