2. A modular initiator connection comprising:
a connector attached to an initiator;
a first contact blade within the connector;
a second contact blade within the connector;
a first conductive shunt contact within the connector forming an electrical shunt between the first contact blade and the second contact blade;
a receptacle;
a first signal contact within the receptacle and adapted to electrically connect to the first contact blade;
a second signal contact within the receptacle and adapted to electrically connect to the second contact blade;
a nonconductive separator within the receptacle adapted to mechanically and electrically separate the first shunt contact and the second blade contact as the receptacle is inserted into the connector;
wherein the first resistor contact and second resistor contact provide electrical connection to the initiator.
