Abstract
An initiator assembly having an initiator cartridge. The initiator cartridge has a cartridge housing, an initiation package and an input charge. The cartridge housing is formed of a plastic material and defines an outer circumferential surface, a recess, and a plurality of orientation features. The recess is formed into a first axial end of the cartridge housing. The orientation features are disposed through the first axial end of the cartridge housing and are disposed inwardly of the outer circumferential surface. The initiation package has an exploding foil initiator and a plurality of cartridge terminals. The exploding foil initiator has a bridge. The cartridge terminals are electrically coupled to the bridge. The initiation package is partly encapsulated in the plastic material that forms the cartridge housing. The input charge is at least partly formed of a secondary explosive and is received in the recess in the cartridge housing.
