Abstract
A cartridge having a propellant-charge casing ( ) and an electrothermal ignition device ( ), in which the propellant-charge casing ( ) is connected to a metal casing base ( ) and a contact piece ( ) that is connected to a contact disk ( ) is provided for the connection to a gun-side high-voltage electrode ( . To assure an automatic operation of corresponding weapons systems, during use of such cartridges, the contact piece ( ) is formed such that it does not protrude past the outside surface ( ) of the floor piece ( ) on the outside, and on the inside, the contact piece forms the contact disk ( ), which is supported over a large surface area against the propellant-charge casing ( ) by a relatively thin-walled insulator ( ) that is formed as a casing base.
