<p>An initiator (20) has a circuit board (22) with two spaced copper traces (24) and a bridge resistor (50) of Nichrome (R) or tantalum nitride at one end, and wire leads or pins joining the wire traces (24) at the other end. A zener diode (54) is placed between the wire leads and a bridge resistor. Immediately before the wire leads reach the circuit board (22) they pass through a ferrite core (30). The wire leads, the ferrite core, and the circuit board except for the end of the board to which the bridge resistor (50) is mounted, is insert molded into a body of glass filled nylon 6,6. The nylon body mounts an aluminum can (66) that covers the bridge resistor and is bonded to a circumferential groove in the nylon body. The bridge resistor (50) is covered with primary explosives such as zirconium potassium perchlorate and the can is filled with gas generating granules such as 5-aminotetrazole.</p> |
