ABSTRACT:
A high-speed, relay for switching a high voltage signals includes a set of terminals across which the high voltage signal is applied. The relay also includes a motor having a shaft for movement between an open position and a closed position responsive to actuation of the motor. A contact plate is connected to the shaft which moves responsive to the shaft. A conductor having two contacts at distal ends is formed on the contact plate opposite the terminals such that the conductor does not contact the terminals in the open position and the conductor creates a short circuit across the terminals when in the closed position. The relay according to the invention permits the contact plate to be positioned closer to the terminals which results in a faster switching time.
