The invention concerns an igniter plug for a pyrotechnic device, in particular a hand-launch or mechanical launch grenade, comprising a body ( 104 ) provided with a control mechanism including a fly-off lever ( 101 ) and a percussion mechanism ( 128 ) co-operating with a primary pyrotechnic module ( 105 ) for initiating the charge ( 119 ) of the associated device. The invention is characterised in that it further comprises a lock ( 150 ) engaged with the lever ( 101 ), in storage position, to prevent the fly-off lever ( 101 ) from moving towards its release position, the lock ( 150 ) being configured to impose, when the igniter plug is activated, an initial movement of the lever ( 101 ) countering its displacement required for releasing the percussion mechanism ( 128 ), so as to disengage the lock ( 150 ) and the fly-off lever ( 101 ).
