sudden collapse of an electrostatically actuated movable electrode once voltage exceeds the point where electrostatic force outgrows the spring force.

In microsystems, pull-in instability refers to sudden collapse of an electrostatically actuated movable electrode once voltage exceeds the point where electrostatic force outgrows the spring force. This meaning comes from Nathanson (1967) in IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices.[1]
