Japanese Patent JP2000500276
Kind Code:

Abstract:
A squib connector socket assembly for automotive air bags includes a shorting clip assembly. The squib connector socket assembly holds a pair of igniter pins of a squib assembly which are connectable to a pair of terminals in a squib connector which plugs into the socket assembly. To prevent accidental firing when the squib connector is removed, the igniter pins are shorted by a shorting clip having a pair of resilient, bowed beams which are independently biassed into contact with the pins. The shorting clip is fixedly retained within a plastic socket insert. The socket insert and squib assembly are assembled within a metal socket which is roll crimped about the insert and squib assembly to form an inseparable, integral squib connector socket assembly.
