摘要: A bi-stable microswitch (1) including a pair of contacts (4, 5) and an armature (10,11) movable between first position second to selectively break or make the contacts, being latched in by magnetic path permanent magnet (3) magnetisable element (7) having temperature, wherein is resiliently biased towards when latched, from upon heating above temperature.
