IGNITION DEVICE FOR A CONDUCTED ELECTRICAL WEAPON

Abstract:

A conducted electrical weapon ("CEW") deploys wire-tethered electrodes after generation of an ignition signal. The ignition signal is provided to a deployment unit. The deployment unit includes a primer material adjacent a conductor. The conductor conducts the ignition signal outside the primer material. A temperature of the conductor increases in response to receiving the ignition signal. The primer material ignites in response to the increase in temperature of the conductor.
