US12332034 - Initiator head with circuit board

An initiator head may include a housing extending in an axial direction, a circuit board provided in an interior space of the housing, a line-in terminal provided on a first side of the housing in the axial direction and accessible from an exterior of the housing, and a fuse displaced from the circuit board in the axial direction. A thickness direction of the circuit board may be substantially parallel with the axial direction. The line-in terminal may be in electrical communication with the circuit board. The fuse may be in electrical communication with the circuit board. The circuit board may be configured to activate the fuse in response to a control signal received at the line-in terminal.

The patent describes an initiator head for firearms that includes a housing, a circuit board, a line-in terminal, and a fuse, all designed to work together to activate the fuse upon receiving a control signal. The configuration allows for efficient electrical communication and activation within the initiator head’s structure.

Claim 1

  1. An initiator head comprising: a housing extending in an axial direction; a circuit board provided in an interior space of the housing, a thickness direction of the circuit board being substantially parallel with the axial direction; a line-in terminal provided on a first side of the housing in the axial direction and accessible from an exterior of the housing, the line-in terminal being in electrical communication with the circuit board; and a fuse displaced from the circuit board in the axial direction, the fuse being in electrical communication with the circuit board; wherein the circuit board is configured to activate the fuse in response to a control signal received at the line-in terminal. a housing extending in an axial direction; a circuit board provided in an interior space of the housing, a thickness direction of the circuit board being substantially parallel with the axial direction; a line-in terminal provided on a first side of the housing in the axial direction and accessible from an exterior of the housing, the line-in terminal being in electrical communication with the circuit board; and a fuse displaced from the circuit board in the axial direction, the fuse being in electrical communication with the circuit board; wherein the circuit board is configured to activate the fuse in response to a control signal received at the line-in terminal.
