EPICxxxxxxxx Overview
Vishay Sfernice .. Electro-Pyrotechnic Initiator Chip Resistor Vishay has developed a special thin film resistor chip specifically designed to provide pyrotechnic engineers with a lot of advantages Firing energy down to 50 µJ Firing time down to 50 µs Electro-pyrotechnic initiator resistors, also known as bridge resistors, are resistive elements, which convert electrical energy into heat energy in a precise electro-thermal profile for the purpose of initiating a series of pyrotechnic events in a controlled energetic reaction. In automotive applications this effect is used to deploy automotive airbags and other safety devices. These same devices are also used in military applications for pilot ejection systems, explosive bolt disengagement of airbone missiles, chaff dispensers, artillery projectile activators, anti-tank mines, etc. mercially, they are used in mining and de-constructions...
