Abstract
Gas generators for passive restraint systems in motor vehicles, particularly for airbag systems or belt pre-tensioner systems, contain a gas generating compound which is ignited by an electrical ignition unit. The present ignition unit makes do with a small number of individual components and does not employ a plug. The connecting devices carrying the electrical ignition pulse are connected directly to the ignition charge without the intermediate circuitry of a plug, and the ignition carrier is formed as an enclosure for the connecting devices.
