1. An airbag assembly, comprising:
an electrically conductive piece;
an electro-explosive device coupled with the electrically conductive piece and positioned adjacent to the electrically conductive piece; and
a housing for the electro-explosive device, wherein the housing is at least partially defined by a conductive plastic material having an electrical conductivity less than that of the electrically conductive piece, and wherein the housing is configured to receive the electro-explosive device so as to maintain a spark gap between a portion of the electro-explosive device and the housing.
