#MEMS: "Shrinking the Footprint of Switches"

Coto Technology--the world's leading supplier of magnetic reed switches--didn't want the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) revolution to leave them behind, so they invented their own. Using a proprietary electo-plating process that can't be duplicated with CMOS--Coto has now announced the world's smallest magnetic reed switch at DESIGN West 2013: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog


Coto Technologies new magnetic reed switch uses high-aspect ratio MEMS manufacturing techniques to shrink it to 2-mm--world's smallest SPST switch.
