1. In a propellant-actuated device, an initiator assembly, comprisingan initiator having an initiator charge and a cap member having a lateral extent, said initiator including at least a first conductive pin having a length for use in triggering;

  • and activation circuitry connected to said initiator for receiving a control signal and including processing circuitry that processes said control signal to determine whether the propellant-actuated device is to be activated, said activation circuitry including a circuit board that is disposed relative to said initiator to have a lateral extent greater than said lateral extent of said cap member, said circuit board for supporting said processing circuitry and said circuit board being located substantially perpendicular to said length of said at least first conductive pin.
