Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0195359A1] The invention relates to a disconnect switch for the load circuit of a vehicle battery, comprising a movable contact element (81) and a stationary contact element (64) that are linked with a locking mechanism. For releasing the locking mechanism a shape-memory alloy release element (4) is used that contracts when heated. For closing the locking mechanism a shape-memory alloy spring element (110) is provided that induces closure of the mechanism by expansion.
