An igniter assembly for which an igniter and a conductive igniter collar are integrated via an insulating layer, wherein the igniter comprises a metal eyelet, a metal cover that retains the eyelet therein, an ignition charge that is disposed in the cover and in a space in contact with an end face of the eyelet, a heating body that is connected to the end face of the eyelet, and a conductive pin that passes through the insulating layer and is electrically connected to the heating body. The other end of the conductive pin is exposed from the insulating layer so that a current supplying circuit is connected. An IC tag is disposed in the insulating layer and near the conductive pin. The IC tag has an IC chip and a coil antenna that is wound around the IC chip.

Igniter assembly, airbag system, and detection system and detection method for same

This igniter has a heating element, an ignition agent positioned so as to be in contact with the heating element, and conductive pins that pass through an insulating layer, and are electrically connected to the heating element. One end of each conductive pin is exposed through the insulating layer in such a manner that a current supply component, which supplies an ignition current, is connected to the heating element. An IC tag is positioned inside the insulating layer, in the vicinity of the conductive pins.
