Resistance Wires for (Airbag) Initiators
Resistance wires made of platinum alloys are the material of choice when it comes to reliablitity and reproducibility.
About Resistance Wires for (Airbag) Initiators
Resistance Wires are used as an airbag initiator to trigger the front or side airbags, in the seat belt tensioner, on the engine hood, and in the battery circuit breaker. The bridge wire is also used in military technology, pyrotechnology, and electronic ignition systems for blasting applications.
