Abstract:
1. A method for forming an initiator assembly comprising: injecting a first material into a mold with a first shot of a two shot injection molding process to form an insulative structural member integrally molded to an outer body and joining an initiator canister and initiator pins extending therefrom to the outer body; encapsulating a portion of the initiator pins and an open end of the initiator canister with the first material to electrically insulate the pins and a portion of the initiator canister from the outer body; and injecting a second material different from the first material with a second shot of the two shot molding process into the mold to form an electrostatic discharge dissipater integrally molded at least to the outer body proximate an end of the outer body; wherein the electrostatic discharge dissipater forms at least a portion of a pocket proximate the end of the outer body that is adapted to receive a connector, the electrostatic discharge dissipater electrically connecting the pins to the outer body to provide a controlled dissipation path for electrostatic discharge energy carried by at least the initiator assembly.
