Shape Memory Alloy Sensing And Actuation Switch

The present embodiments relate to a shape memory alloy (SMA) sensor being part of a switch. For instance, an SMA sensor can include an actuator configured to engage with a locking mechanism that modifies the resistance of the SMA sensor when the locking mechanism is in the locked position. The resistance of the SMA sensor can be unmodified by an external magnetic field, increasing reliability of the SMA sensor resistance determining a state of the locking mechanism. Another example, SMA sensor is an SMA wire being in contact with a locking mechanism in the locked position, thereby increasing a resistance of the SMA wire in the locked position.
