Zusammenfassung:The device has a matrix of magnetic dip switches each with a ferromagnetic membrane (20) integrated to a substrate, and positioned near intersections formed by electrical tracks. Arms and anchoring studs are integrated in perimeter of the membrane. The membrane is maintained in a stable manner in two positions by an effect of permanent magnetic field commonly generated at the switches. Passage of control electric current (I1, I2) in two of the tracks (Ci, Lj) along a preset direction controls position change of the membrane of the switch located at the intersection of the two tracks.
