Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An initiator assembly can include an outer body can have a first end, a second end, and an internal passage between the first and second ends. An initiator canister can be joined to the outer body at the first end and can define a charge chamber that includes a pair of pins extending therefrom. An insulative material can be molded within the passage to form an insulative structural member that joins the canister and pins to the outer body and insulates the pins and a portion of the canister from electrical contact with the outer body. An electrostatic discharge dissipater can be formed from an electrically conductive material and can be molded to the outer body. The dissipater can provide a controlled dissipation path for electrostatic discharge energy carried by the initiator assembly.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 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…
