The present invention aims to prevent forcing of pins when a female connector is obliquely inserted into a shunt. A shunt fits into a cylindrical socket concavely formed in an external face of a housing of an airbag inflator and short-circuits of a pair of contact pins of a squib of the inflator. These pins rise at the center of the socket from the bottom to a point near to the opening. The shunt includes an annular wall having a fitting hole into which the pins enter from the bottom side of the center thereof and into which a female connector fits from the top side, and a short-circuit piece provided on the annular wall, which will contact both of the pins when the shunt is fitted into the socket, and will be pushed to move away from the pins when the female connector is fitted into the fitting hole. To prevent forcing or bending of the pins if the female connector is improperly obliquely inserted into the fitting hole of the shunt, the height of the annular wall is not less than the sum of the depth of insertion of the female connector into the fitting hole in the axial direction of the pins when the female connector is inserted obliquely plus the height of the pins from the bottom of the socket.
