Pyrotechnic Initiators

Pyrotechnic Initiators

Our pyrotechnic initiators are designed provide a low cost alternative to the Aerospace Industry “gold standard” initiator, the NASA Standard Initiator (NSI), for use in ground testing. The Triton Standard Initiator 200 Series (TSI-200) is a high-quality initiator comprised of a stainless-steel housing and features a high-pressure, hermetic, glass-to-metal seal that permits use in applications with operating pressures up to 10,000 psi while remaining bubble leak tight. This technology is the same sealing technology that is used in the NSI. The TSI-200 brings this robust and highly reliable technology to the market at a single component price that is unavailable anywhere else.

The TSI-200 features the same MS3112E8-2P electrical interface as the NASA Standard Initiator and threads into the same 3/8-24 UNF threaded MS33649-03/AS5202-03 O-ring Boss Port as the NASA Standard Initiator.

Our newest generation initiator, the Triton Standard Initiator 300 Series (TSI-300) features a modern MIL-DTL-38999/25YA98PN electrical interface for those preferring compatibility with this newer connection type. Additionally, the TSI-300 features redundant nichrome bridge wires for improved reliability.

Triton Standard Initiators are Shipped Inert

Uniquely, both the TSI-200 and TSI-300 are sold as an inert electrical devices thereby averting the logistical complications of shipping live pyrotechnic devices. Specifically, no ATF licenses are needed to purchase and transport the product and no hazardous shipping charges are incurred. Once the customer receives the TSI-200 or TSI-300, they fill the pyrotechnic cavity with a pyrogen of their choice immediately prior to use.

All Initiators are Individually Tested

With a single-use burst pressure greater than 10,000 psi, the Triton Standard Initiator 200 and 300 Series provide a reliable method of igniting pyrotechnics through a pressure tight seal simply not available in most consumer level ignition devices. Every TSI-200 and TSI-300 is individually pressure tested allowing you to use them with confidence.
