A device may include a first activation member including at least one protrusion and configured to slidably move between a first and second axial position, a second activation member including an engagement portion configured to engage the first activation member and to translate a movement between a first and second lateral position of second activation member to a second end thereof to actuate an energy harvester mechanically coupled thereto, and a first spring element arranged between the first activation member and a housing to apply a first spring force to return first activation member to the first axial position. The device may include a second spring element arranged between the second activation member and the housing to apply a second spring force to maintain second activation member in engagement with the first activation member and return the second activation member to the first lateral position.
A switch configured to actuate an energy harvester to generate electrical power in response to actuation, the switch comprising:
An actuator assembly for a switch to trigger an energy harvester to generate electrical power to produce one or more control signals, the actuator assembly comprising:
