Ignition Characteristics of Micro-Energy Semiconductor Bridges with Different Ignition Compositions

摘要

Experimental research was carried out under the stimulation of 10F tantalum capacitor discharge, to obtain the ignition characteristics of micro-energy semiconductor bridges (SCB) with different ignition compositions. Meanwhile, the critical ignition voltages of different pyrotechnics were tested by the Neyer-D optimal sensitivity test method. The results reveal that SCBs with multiple ignition compositions are entirely different in ignition voltage and current signal. These five kinds of pyrotechnics in ascending order of firing sensitivity are: refined lead styphnate, neutral lead styphnate, basic lead styphnate, zirconium/potassium chlorate, and lastly lead azide, while lead ferrocyanide/potassium perchlorate and boron/potassium nitrate are relatively insensitive to SCB.
