ABSTRACT:
A microelectromechanical system includes separate conducting elements. An electromechanically deformable element can be switched between a first stable position and a second stable position. Contact elements allow for electrical continuity to be established between the separate conducting elements. Switch control elements ensure that the first deformable element switches so as to establish electrical continuity between the separate conducting elements in the second stable position, by contact between the contact elements, and to break electrical continuity by separating the contact elements in the first stable position. The separate conducting elements and the contact elements are carried by the deformable element.
