Abstract

A die cast connector adapter (1) having a substantially cylindrical adapter body includes a first portion (10a) having a first outer diameter and a second portion (10b) having a second outer diameter. The adapter body has an inner cavity including, from one end thereof to the other, a frustoconical section (16) preferably substantially coincident with the second portion, a cylindrical section (14) and a contour cut-out section (22). The frustoconical section and cylindrical section are adapted to receive the correspondingly-shaped end of an initiator (60) for an air-bag inflator and the contour cut-out section is adapted to receive, in keyed fashion, a connector for mating with pins on the initiator. An inflator assembly incorporating the connector adapter is also disclosed.
