Discarding Pyrotechnic Components [2018]: Background

BACKGROUND INFORMATION REGARDING THE DESTRUCTION OF NON-TRIGGERED SRS COMPONENTS 

A tool kit with mounting devices, discharge box and adapter cables has been developed for the destruction of electrically activated pyrotechnic SRS components that have been disconnected and removed from the vehicle.

Activation of the SRS component destroys its pyrotechnic component. This is to be done with the component secured in the fixture included in the kit.

For components with different versions for different models, only an example of securing and connection is shown.

Destruction is carried out by connecting an adapter cable to the component and then connecting the cable to a 12 V battery via a discharge box, whereby the component can be activated.
