THIN-FILM ELECTRIC INITIATOR, III. APPLICATION OF EXPLOSIVES AND PERFORMANCE TESTS

Abstract

The match-like electric initiator is a chemically deposited thin- film-bridge version of the conventional hot bridge-wire initiator and is being developed to effect a cost-saving and an increase in shock resistance. This report describes the application of the explosive to the bridge and the performance and aging tests of the completed initiator.
