An apparatus includes a semiconductor structure (704) having a cavity (720). The apparatus also includes a first electrical terminal (730) on a first cavity side (720a), a second electrical terminal (732) on a second cavity side (720b), and the second electrical terminal includes an extension (738) overlapping a portion of the cavity. The apparatus also includes a bendable beam (710) extending from the first cavity side and overlapping at least a portion of the extension. The apparatus also includes an actuator (740) in a periphery of the beam, the actuator configured to generate a fringe electric field (750) that moves one end of the beam toward the extension in a direction different from the fringe electric field and bends the beam.

A switch device structure includes an assembly of a main body (10) and an operation body (20). An electrical connection module (50) and an elastic unit (60) are mounted on the main body (10). The contact arm of the electrical connection module (50) has a first member (56) and / or a second member (57) with variable arrangement position. The elastic unit (60) is disposed on the operation body (20). The elastic unit (60) includes a fixed section (61), a free section (66) and a bent section connected between the fixed section (61) and the free section (66), which together define a geometrical configuration. According to (or in response to) the position or motion of the operation body (20), the elastic unit (60) provides an elastic force to push the contact arm of the electrical connection module (50) into a contacting circuit closed state or make the elastic unit (60) separate from the contact arm to form a circuit open state. The arrangement form of the first member (56) and / or the second member (57) of the contact arm of the electrical connection module (50) is variable in accordance with the specification of the switch to achieve NO mode and NC mode.

An electrical assembly 10 is adapted for switching power to a circuit having a power source. The electrical assembly 10 includes a housing 20 with current carrying contacts 20, 22 disposed in the housing. The current carrying contacts 20, 22 have engagement ends 32 with non-linear surfaces 34. A coupling member 44 is provided in the housing 20. The coupling member 44 has mating portions 48 for engaging the non-linear surfaces 34 of the current carrying contacts 20, 22. The mating portions 48 have grooves 70 provided thereon which extend from top surfaces 72 of the mating portions 48 toward bottom surfaces 74 of the mating portions 48. As the electrical assembly 10 is moved to a closed position, the grooves 70 of the mating portions 48 of the coupling member 44 are moved into engagement with the non-linear surfaces 34 of the contacts 20, 22, resulting in multiple contact points being provided between the non-linear surfaces 34 of each respective contact 20, 22 of the current carrying contacts 20, 22 and edges 78 of each respective groove 70 of the grooves 70 of the mating portions 48.
