1. A high current electrical switch, comprising:

  • a first primary conductor having a first flat surface;

    a second primary conductor having a second flat surface;

    the first and second surfaces each having substantially the same width;

    an array of two or more switching elements electrically connecting the first primary conductor to the second primary conductor and physically sandwiched between the first primary conductor and the second primary conductor and mounted on and extending between the first and second flat surfaces thereof;

    the array having substantially the same width as the flat surfaces; and

    a printed circuit board permanently fixed substantially around the array of switching elements and mounted at least partially between the primary conductors to form a package;

    wherein the printed circuit board includes an opening for receiving the array; and

    wherein the electrical switch including the first and second primary conductors has a resistance of less than about 500 micro-ohms.
