Abstract:
Electro-pyrotechnic initiator (1, 101, 201, 301) comprising two igniter heads (16 and 17, 116 and 117, 211 and 212, 302 and 303), characterized in that,i) each of the two igniter heads (16 and 17, 116 and 117, 211 and 212, 302 and 303) contains a heat-sensitive charge and a heating resistive element (407, 408),ii) the two heating resistive elements (407, 408) are incorporated into an electric circuit which comprises three electrical connections, one of them being common to both heating resistive elements (407 and 408) and the other two each being connected to one of the two heating resistive elements (407, 408),iii) the three electrical connections are connected to an electrical power supply means originating from a control unit.
