SQUIB

A squib is an ignition part embedded in inflators and micro gas generators.

When the sensor detects a collision, an electric current is sent to the squib, and then the heat that is generated ignites the agent inside the squib, leading to its activation. Upon activation, the ignition and heat from the squib is transferred to the gas generating agent of the inflator or micro gas generator which generates the gas used to propel the device.
