About this file
This is an Item Description document for a cartridge initiator component used in military life preserver systems. The item is identified by NSN 1377015900158ES, CAGE code 3AX04, and reference number 01-0-04-200-0AA. The initiator cartridge, designated as the INITIATOR,CARTRIDGE noun, measures 4.6 inches in length, 0.89 inches in width, and 2.72 inches in height, with a weight of 0.25 pounds. The component consists of an aluminum housing with base plate, mounting screws, sensor plug, cam lever, and actuation lanyard with knob, containing an EPA and electro-explosive initiator.
The device functions as a water-activated trigger mechanism for life preserver inflation systems. When immersed in water, the initiator triggers an electric circuit that activates an explosive device, which drives a piercing pin into a 28-31 gram carbon dioxide cylinder to release gas and inflate the cell of an LPU-9/P life preserver. The item is classified with criticality code F, demilitarization code G, and security code 7. The initiator contact is Gary C. Harper with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/EBHJ), reachable at DSN 586-2327 or commercial phone 801-586-2327. No precious metals, jewel bearings, helium content, or GFM/GFE/GFP requirements are indicated for this item.
