Abstract
A power charge () for a downhole setting tool has a sleeve () which defines a housing. A propellant () is located in the sleeve () in solid form and defines a first end face (). An igniter () is embedded into the propellant () first end face (). The igniter () has a main body portion () with an end located adjacent to the first end face (), and an annular-shaped protrusion () which extends laterally outward from the main body portion () and into the propellant (). The annular-shaped protrusion () defines a shoulder () which engages the propellant () to retain the igniter () within the propellant () at the first end face () of the power charge (). The sleeve () is formed of a combustible material which will burn when the propellant () is burned.
