The slapper type initiator comprises essentially: a connector unit (2) having two connection pins (3, 4), a first dielectric foil (5) with two drilled holes (6, 7), with a fuse (8) formed on the rear face of this first dielectric foil, a second dielectric foil (9) on the front face of which there ar

The slapper type initiator comprises essentially: a connector unit (2) having two connection pins (3, 4), a first dielectric foil (5) with two drilled holes (6, 7), with a fuse (8) formed on the rear face of this first dielectric foil, a second dielectric foil (9) on the front face of which there are formed two metal pads (10, 11) facing said holes, a perforated plate (12) and a body (13) containing a pyrotechnic charge 14. The assembly is hermetically sealed. The first foil introduces a galvanic discontinuity that ensures a well-defined firing voltage, with a value high enough to prevent induced parasitic currents.

1. An electro-pyrotechnic initiator comprising: a connector unit; two connection pins passing through said connector unit; a first dielectric foil having one side applied to a face of the connector unit such that ends of said pins face holes through said first dielectric foil; a fuse circuit provided at another side of said first dielectric foil at said holes, such that said fuse circuit is separated from said ends of said pins by the thickness of the first dielectric foil to form a calibrated electrical discontinuity, wherein there is no electrical contact between said pins and said fuse circuit; a second dielectric foil applied to a side of said fuse circuit opposite said first dielectric foil and including a portion providing a slapper; a perforated plate applied to a side of said second dielectric foil opposite said fuse circuit, said perforated plate being connected to said connector unit so as to grip the first and second dielectric foils between said perforated plate and said connector unit; and a pyrotechnic charge positioned so as to be initiated by said slapper. 2. An initiator according to claim 1, wherein the ends of the pins are flush with the face of the connector unit to which the first dielectric foil is applied. 3. An initiator according to claim 2 or 1, including conductive pads facing the holes of the first foil and applied against the fuse circuit, and provided at the second foil. 4.
