Abstract
An electropyrotechnic link having one or more connectors crimped or bonded into longitudinal indentations in a closed end tubular member containing a pyrotechnic pressure generator. When the pyrotechnic charge within the tubular member is activated the tubular member is expanded into cylindrical form opening the crimp, peeling any bonding material and releasing the connector or connectors. If the bonding material is of low melting point the release can be made to function upon reaching the melting point of the bonding material or upon command by an electrical signal.
