Supplemental Restraint Systems

Mass-Type Sensor

During a collision, the sensing mass is forced forward into the gold-plated contacts as a result of the change in the state of motion. Following the movement of this metal ball into the contacts, this metal mass makes contact with the electrical terminals at either side of the metal ball which alerts the central unit of a collision (i.e. the electrical contact completes the circuit).
