Patent ID: 8096242

Claim:
A squib, comprising: (a) a cup body having an opening; (b) a closure plug closing said opening of said cup body and holding a plurality of electrode pins which are insulated from one another; (c) ignition powder in said cup body; (d) an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) component comprising electric circuits including an ASIC and a capacitor; (e) a resin molding around said ASIC component and located in said cup body with ignition electrodes on a top of said resin molding electrically connected to said ASIC and connection electrodes on a bottom of said resin molding electrically connected to said ASIC; (f) a heating element, (i) located at a top of said resin molding, (ii) electrically connected to said ignition electrodes and (iii) abutting against said ignition powder; and (g) a cylindrical metal fixture intermediate said cup body and said resin molding having a first opening at a center of a top portion thereof, said first opening being of a size sufficient to expose said heating element, (i) said cylindrical metal fixture having a second opening at a flat, bottom portion thereof, said closure plug being fitted in said second opening, (ii) said cylindrical metal fixture further covering a top circumferential periphery and complete side surface of said resin molding therein, and (iiii) said cylindrical metal fixture said second opening further being closed by said closure plug with said connection electrodes in electrical press-contact with said electrode pins at the bottom of said resin molding.
