Abstract
The invention refers to an actuator with a movable controlling element (), a wire-shaped SMA element () for moving the controlling element in one direction, on whose at least one wire end () a connector () having a contact surface () and made of an electrically conductive material has been fixed, and a structural part () made at least partially from an electrically non-conductive plastic material, that has been provided with a conductive strip (). The connector () is fixed to an area of the structural part made from non-conductive material, whereby as a result of that, the contact surface () is maintained in electrically conductive contact with the conductive strip ().
