Claims
- 1. A glass-metal leadthrough forming a plug connector, comprising:two metal pins being parallel to one other; a glass stopper having first and second sides, wherein said two metal pins are scaled in said glass stopper to project out from said first and second sides; a metal sleeve, prepared by cutting a metallic tube, for surrounding said glass stopper; and a cover piece, prepared by stamping, being sealed in said first side of said glass stopper to surround one of said two metal pins in a conductive manner, said cover piece being connected in a conductive manner with said metal sleeve, wherein said cover piece is without conductive connection with the other one of said two metal pins, and wherein said two metal pins at the side of said cover piece project over a further distance than at the side of said glass stopper opposite to said cover piece, wherein said cover piece is flush with said first side of said glass stopper.
- 2. A glass-metal leadthrough comprising:two metal pins being parallel to one other; a glass stopper having first and second sides, said two metal pins being sealed in said glass stopper so as to project out from said first and second sides; a metal sleeve for surrounding said glass stopper; and a cover piece being sealed in said first side of said glass stopper to surround one of said two metal pins in a conductive manner, said cover piece being connected in a conductive manner with said metal sleeve, wherein said cover piece is without conductive connection with the other one of said two metal pins, wherein said cover piece is flush with said first side of said glass stopper.
- 3. The glass-metal-leadthrough according to claim 2, wherein said two metal pins at the side of said cover piece project over a further distance than at the side of said glass stopper opposite to said cover piece.
- 4. A glass-metal leadthrough, comprising:a conductive sleeve; a glass stopper being surrounded by said conductive sleeve so that a first side and a second side of said glass stopper are defined; a first conductive pin being sealed in said glass stopper to project out from said first and second sides; a second conductive pin being sealed in said glass stopper to project out from said first and second sides; and a conductive cover piece being sealed in a first portion of said first side, said conductive cover piece placing said conductive sleeve in electrical communication with said first conductive pin or said second conductive pin, wherein said conductive cover piece is flush with a second portion of said first side.
- 5. The glass-metal leadthrough according to claim 4, wherein said conductive first pins, said conductive second pin, and said conductive cover are sealed in said glass stopper during glazing of said glass stopper.
- 6. The glass-metal leadthrough according to claim 4, wherein the glass-metal leadthrough is disposable in an ignition cap of an airbag assembly.
- 7. The glass-metal leadthrough according to claim 4, wherein said first and second conductive pins project from said first side a further distance than at said second side.
