An impact fuse includes a body containing a piezoelectric generator
positioned on a bracket integral with the body. The piezoelectric
generator serving as an anvil. The fuse includes a piston intended to
mechanically contact the generator upon impact. The piston receives the
impact forces transmitted by a cap. The fuse being characterized in that
the piston is slidably fitted within the body and in that it includes
plastically deformable means that are interposed between the cap and the
body. The means are deformed by cap movement upon impact with a target
via piston movement. The plastically deformable means is configured to be
deformed in a manner that causes the piston to more gradually exert force
on the piezoelectric generator.
