One of MEMS device that is becoming increasingly important in a wide range of industries such as the computer industry, the medical industry and the automotive industry is micro relay. Generally, there are three types of micro relay based on actuation methods; electrostatic, electrothermal and electromagnetic. This research project focuses on electromagnetic micro relay.

Investigations on magnetic behaviors of the electromagnetic micro relay are performed via Finite Element Analyses. By varying the current density on the EM planar coil on the micro relay structure, the operating principle of electromagnetic micro relay can be simulated and observed. In addition, it also includes the investigation of magnetic torque upon the armature of the micro relay when certain parameters are varied. The parameters are the thickness of the armature, air gap between the permanent magnet and EM planar coil, and the amount of current density applied to EM planar coils. The effect of the parameter's variation are presented and discussed.
