The present invention aims to prevent forcing of pins when a female connector is obliquely inserted into a shunt. [0002] The present invention is a shunt, which fits into a cylindrical socket being concavely formed in an external face of a housing of an inflator and short-circuits a pair of pins of a squib, said pair of pins rising at the center of the socket from the bottom to a point near to the opening. This shunt (300) comprises an annular wall (310) having a fitting hole (340) into which pins (210) enter from the bottom side at the center thereof and into which the female connector (400) fits from the top side, and a short-circuit piece (390), which is provided on said annular wall (310), will contact both the pair of pins (210) when the shunt (300) is fitted into the socket (110).
