PYROTECHNIC SHORT-CIRCUITER

A pyrotechnic short-circuiter has a body including a first chamber in communication with a pyrotechnic initiator; a second chamber having present therein a support in the form of a slide having present thereon two conductive parts, the support defining a housing, each conductive part having a deformable end portion, and a piston having a fitted conductive element, the pyrotechnic initiator being configured to cause the piston to pass from a first position in which the conductive element is disengaged from the end portions to a second position in which the conductive element is inserted in the housing and is in contact with each deformable end portion, the deformable end portions, in the second position, being deformed and exerting a holding force serving to block the conductive element in position in the housing.
