Squibs and Electric Igniters

CED has designed, developed and produced a number of squibs and electric igniters that are utilized in numerous space and defense programs. The devices have been subjected to rigor tests for RF & EMI hazards, and 5 minutes 1/Amp / 1 Watt No-Fire tests in accordance with MIL-DTL-23659. These devices are hermetically sealed electro-explosive devices characterized by their compactness, light weight, environment and corrosive resistance, and extreme high reliability.

The current applications include:

  • Separation systems
  • Thermal Battery initiation
  • Automatic inflation device initiation
  • Ejection seat pyrotechnic component initiation
  • Other applications that require rapid gas & heat generation
