Abstract
In an electrical plug connection on a pyrotechnical gas generator (10) provided with an electrical igniter for restraining systems in vehicles the two contact members (14, 16), one (14) of which is formed as a contact spring, engage each other as long as the plug connector (12) is not attached. The igniter is therefore safeguarded. On attachment of the plug connector the contact member (14) formed as a contact spring is spread radially away from the other contact member (16) so that the short-circuit between the contact members is removed. There is no longer any need to pay special attention to the safeguarding and removing of the safeguarding of the igniter.
