ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a switch having a movable electrode to be separately driven downward and upward to secure signal transmission efficiency and insulation capability and operate for signal connection and disconnect at a high speed. The switch comprises a movable electrode, a fixed electrode positioned beneath the movable electrode, and a movable electrode driving fixed electrode positioned on both sides of the movable electrode with respect to a length wise direction thereof. Inside surfaces of the movable electrode, concave and convex parts are formed to arrange on both sides fixed electrodes having the corresponding concave and convex parts with a space.
