Frangibolt

TiNi Aerospace's Frangibolt family of actuators is designed for deployment of a wide variety of stowed appendages including solar panels, antennae, cover doors, and various experimental payloads. The great benefit of the Frangibolt is that it requires no special handling during integration, can be tested, and in use it doesn't impact large shocks or release contaminating materials. It is a non-explosive bolt for the situations in which you really need an explosive bolt, but would prefer not to have one. Read more here...

    Frangibolt is the inability of a native French speaker to use any anglicisms. (This is most appreciated level of being French as proposed by public authorities such as the Conseil supérieur de la langue française.)
