1. A high-voltage switch, comprising:
a substrate;
a first contact fixedly coupled to the substrate;
a second contact having a first position in conductive contact with the first contact and a second position not in conductive contact with the first contact; and
an actuator comprising a body fixedly coupled to the substrate and a movable element coupled to the second contact, the actuator configured to selectably move the second contact between the first and second positions;
wherein:
the switch has a breakdown voltage greater than or equal to 1500V;
the switch does not include an enclosure surrounding the first and second contacts; and
the first and second contacts are not enclosed within the enclosure.
