Abstract
An air bag gas generator, which ensures that a lead wire has a sufficient length when installing the generator in a module, is provided even when a connector in the air bag gas generator has a predetermined length. The air bag gas generator includes: a housing having gas discharge ports and an ignitor storage opening; an ignitor activated by an impact; a gas generant ignited by the ignitor that burns and generates a combustion gas; and a filter that cools the combustion gas and/or collects combustion residues. Also, the ignitor includes an initiator that is activated by an electrical signal, and an enhancer that is ignited by the activation of the initiator and burns. The initiator is positioned and then installed in the housing.
