A temporary connection and pyrotechnic separation device (10) normally connects two elements (12, 14). This device comprises a connecting part (18), of which a bottom portion (38) is fixed to one (12) of the elements. Active portions (40) of the connecting part (18) cover a space (20) in which there is pyrotechnic expansion tube (16). The active portions are deformable and comprise hook-shaped ends (50) that fit into a notch (36) formed in the second element (14), so that normally there is a pressure connection between the two elements. The effect of firing is to deform the active parts and consequently break this pressure connection.
