Abstract:
A firing device for a restraint device in a vehicle, comprising:a conductive firing capsule including contact pins; a substrate; a circuit arrangement situated on the substrate; a common module housing accommodating the circuit arrangement, the module housing including terminal posts, the terminal posts having a first side contacting the circuit arrangement and having a second side extending from the module housing; at least one conductive member contacting the firing capsule, the at least one conductive member having a defined distance to the terminal posts such that, in response to an electrostatic charging, a voltage sparkover occurs between the terminal posts and the at least one conductive member; and at least one contact tab coupled to a spring element situated on the substrate, wherein the at least one contact tab produces an electrical connection between the circuit arrangement and the contact pins.
