Actuating device (1) for actuating an electrical or electronic circuit (3), comprising a circuit board (5), wherein the circuit board (5) integrally comprises a circuit board base (7), an elastic region (9), and a displacement region (11) having at least one actuating region (13) and at least one coupling region (15), wherein the circuit board base (7), the elastic region (9), and the displacement region (11) are designed and arranged such that the displacement region (11) is connected to the circuit board base (7) by the elastic region (9) and is elastically displaceable relative to the circuit board base (7), wherein the at least one coupling region (15) is designed and arranged for galvanic, electrical, and / or magnetic coupling with at least one counter-coupling region (17) arranged on the circuit board base (7),that a position of the at least one coupling area (15) relative to the at least one counter-coupling area (17) can be changed by moving the actuating area (13), characterized in that the elastic area (9) is designed such that the at least one coupling area (15) can be brought into contact with the at least one counter-coupling area (17) by moving the actuating area (13) thereby establishing galvanic coupling.

An apparatus includes a semiconductor structure having a cavity. The apparatus also includes a first electrical terminal on a first cavity side, a second electrical terminal on a second cavity side, and the second electrical terminal including an extension that overlaps part of the cavity. The apparatus also includes a bendable beam extending from the first cavity side and overlapping at least part of the extension. The apparatus also includes an actuator in a periphery of the beam, the actuator configured to generate a fringing electric field that causes the second beam side to move towards the extension in a direction different from the fringing electric field and bend the beam.
