Electropyrotechnic igniter with integrated electronics

Electropyrotechnic igniter (1) comprising a body having a resistive heating element (11), a pyrotechnic ignition composition (7), the said resistive resistive heating element (11) being electrically connected to at least two external electrodes attached to a printed-circuit substrate produced in the form of an electronicc card (17) on which conducting tracks (18, 19) are provided, characterized in that:

• i) a transverse separating wall (8) divides the inside of the body into a downstream chamber, containing the resistive heating element (11), the pyrotechnic initiating composition (12) and the pyrotechnic ignition composition (7), and an upstream chamber containing the electronic card (17);
• ii) electrical connection means pass through the said transverse separating wall (8) and connect the conducting tracks (18, 19) on the electronic card (17) to the resistive heating element (11);
• iii) a means of intercommunicating and of triggering coded information as well as a means (20) of storing electrical energy are connected to the conducting tracks (18, 19), said transverse separating wall (8) comprising a metal piece (8) with several perforations, each of these perforations having a glass side wall (9, 10).
