A glass-metal feed-through transmits an electrical signal from one face to another face that is opposite. The feed-through includes a glass plug, two metal pins passing through the plug, and a metal part surrounding the plug. The feed-through includes an electrically-conductive link between a first of the pins and the part. The link includes a brazing preform secured to the first pin and to the part.

Glass-metal feedthrough, a method of fabricating it, and an electro-pyrotechnic initiator including it

The present invention relates to an electropyrotechnic initiator comprising: an ignition support (); an electrical initiation system () connecting the ignition support () to a source of electricity; and a cap () containing at least one explosive composition, the cap being of generally cylindrical shape presenting an open first end () connected to the ignition support (), an opposite second end that is closed by an end wall (), and a peripheral side wall () which presents at least one zone of weakness (). This initiator is essentially remarkable in that at least one of the zones of weakness extends along a non-closed trace and over a portion only of the side wall (), i.e. without reaching its opposite ends.
