Abstract
A pyrotechnical actuator unit () for a vehicle safety system includes an outer housing () made of a plastic material accommodating a pyrotechnical igniter () that when activated breaks the outer housing. The outer housing () includes first and second plastic parts () permanently connected with each other. A gas bag module may have such an actuator unit (). A method of manufacturing a pyrotechnical actuator unit () including an outer housing () accommodating a pyrotechnical igniter () and made up of first and second housing parts () includes: producing the first housing part () having a recess for the pyrotechnical igniter (), inserting the pyrotechnical igniter () into the recess, and injection molding the second housing part () onto the pyrotechnical igniter () and onto a first end () of the first housing part () to essentially close a receiving space () for the pyrotechnical igniter ().
