Abstract
An inventive actuator assembly has a substrate having a through hole. A circuit path is mounted on a side of the substrate and has a support surface that defines a circuit path through hole. An actuator made at least partially of a shape memory material is included and has first and second ends. The actuator has a through hole at least at the first end. A fastener extends through the actuator through hole, the circuit path through hole and the substrate through hole to permanently fix the substrate, the actuator and the circuit path at the first end of the actuator. The actuator may have through holes on both ends, such that the substrate includes a second substrate through hole and a second circuit path is provided that defines a second circuit path through hole. A second fastener fixes together the second end, the second circuit path and the substrate.
