Electric Match with 30 cm Copper Lead

This electric match with a 30 cm copper lead is a specialized wired igniter for compatible electrically initiated equipment. The designated control device sends the intended signal through the lead to the ignition head, so the component is suitable only where this initiating method is expressly accepted by the manufacturers of both the equipment and the pyrotechnic article. It is not a household match, a lighter, or a general-purpose fire-starting accessory.

Construction and intended role

This version uses a copper lead with orange insulation and a red end section containing the ignition head. The lead is 30 cm long. The format is intended for a compact arrangement in which that length reaches from the designated installation point to the control-device contacts without tension, extensions, or sharp bends. The visible colors help identify the component, but they do not establish its operating ratings or make it interchangeable with another product of similar appearance.

Technical details

• Product type: wired electric match, also described as an electric igniter or electric ignition element.
• Lead length: 30 cm; this is a defining specification of the particular version and must be considered when planning placement.
• Conductor material: copper.
• Visible configuration: orange lead insulation with a red end section.
• Compatibility data: match resistance, conductor gauge, voltage, current, and pulse profile to the equipment documentation.

Compatibility and selection

The requirements of the intended system remain decisive: the accepted igniter type, controller ratings, prescribed connection method, and permitted line length must all correspond. A matching name, lead length, or color alone does not confirm compatibility. Use the component only with equipment whose documentation specifically permits the relevant type of electric match. Connecting it to an unknown source, checking it with an arbitrary power supply, modifying the head, or altering the lead can cause unintended activation or leave the item unfit for its intended purpose.

Handling and storage

Keep the electric match disconnected from sources of electrical influence until its intended use. Protect it from heat, sparks, open flame, moisture, impact, friction, crushing, and pulling forces on the lead. Do not dismantle the end section, damage the insulation, or carry the item by its head. An example with cut insulation, a severe kink, an exposed conductor, deformation, or damage to the ignition head must not be used.

This component is intended for a trained adult and must be used under permitted conditions according to the instructions for compatible equipment.
