ELECTRIFIED LATCH
An electromechanical component for a locking mechanism is provided. The locking mechanism includes a latching component having a latch member reciprocally movable between a locked orientation and an unlocked orientation. The electromechanical component comprises a drive member configured to be coupled to the latch member, an actuator operably coupled to the drive member, a temperature sensor for sensing an ambient temperature associated with the locking mechanism; and a printed circuit board (PCB) in communication with the temperature sensor and the actuator. When the PCB receives a control signal to move the latch member between the locked orientation and the unlocked orientation, and the temperature sensor senses that the ambient temperature is below a predetermined threshold temperature, the PCB is configured to direct a pulsed current signal to the actuator to move the latch member between the locked orientation and the unlocked orientation.
