EPC-255
WIRED PCB-TYPE ELECTRIC IGNITER
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
A compact PCB-mounted electric igniter for rocket motor and pyrotechnic initiation systems. Thin-film Electro-Pyrotechnic Initiator Chips (EPIC) provide repeatable ignition through configurable flying-lead or connector interfaces.
KEY FEATURES
- Thin-film EPIC electro-thermal ignition technology
- Dual chips in parallel for built-in redundancy
- Defined All-Fire / No-Fire characteristics
- Circular PCB for compact system integration
- Cable or connector interface options
- Central cavity prepared for customer energetic loading
