Pyrotechnic Initiators and their Applications
An explosive or Pyrotechnic initiators is a device that initiates an explosive burning, either electrical or
mechanical, for the purpose of activating difficult-to-ignite devices like safety fuses, propellants, and
thermal battery systems.
Also known as an electro explosive device, the initiator is used to detonate a
pyrotechnic mix of substances to ignite an explosion.
Pyrotechnics are highly dangerous devices to use.
They need to be handled with utmost care and proper
training.
Non-explosive and pyrotechnic separation nuts quickly release mechanisms and stored strain
energy.
Such devices are specifically designed to cause the deployment of different components, such as
space rockets, needed for mission critical operations.
The main benefits of separation devices and nuts
are high reliability, low cost, and high activation speed.
There are two categories of separation devices:
(a) Line sources - linear shaped charges
(b) Point sourc
