A squib includes a cup body and a closure plug for holding a plurality of
electrode pins insulated from one another and closing the opening of the
cup body, and further includes, in the cup body, ignition powder and an
ASIC component formed by molding a resin around electric circuits
including an ASIC and a capacitor, a heating element connected to the
ASIC and located at the top of the resin molding of the ASIC component,
and connection electrodes located at the bottom of the resin molding for
connecting the ASIC to the electrode pins. The squib includes a
cylindrical metal fixture having at the center of its top an opening of a
size sufficient to expose the heating element and being fixed to the
closure plug in a state covering the top circumferential periphery and
side surface of the ASIC component and pushing the connection electrode
of the ASIC component against the electrode pins. With the squib thus
constructed, electric current can be reliably supplied to the electric
circuits incorporated in the squib, and upon operation of the squib the
resin molding and its broken pieces are effectively prevented from flying
in all directions.
