eMatch and Talon igniter test

 

The eMatches and Talons were purchased from http://www.pirotechnika.info

I have done a few test with them.

• How fast will they ignite
• How much current do they take to ignite
• Take a look at them under the microscope
• High speed recording (120FPS + 3x Slow motion)

I tested 5 of each eMatch and Talon.

eMatch 
12v was applied for 250mS with a max available current of 5A

1. 160mA
2. 152mA
3. 149mA
4. 176mA
5. 169mA

Average ignite current – 161.2mA
Average resistance – 1.1Ω

Talon
12v was applied for 250mS with a max available current of 5A

1. 1.29A
2. 1.56A
3. 1.43A
4. 1.51A
5. 1.37A

Average ignite current – 1.43A
Average resistance – 1.6Ω
