Component Description The functional theory and a physical description of individual dispensing set components are discussed in the following paragraphs. As you read about the components, look at figure 10-41. It shows their location and identifies them by item number. Chaff Dispensing Pod The chaff dispensing pod is constructed of heat-treated aluminum alloy formed sheet metal, extruded shapes, and machined parts. The pod is modules with squib boards installed. The pod hardback (item 3) has a rigid surface for mounting the pod to the bomb rack. The nose cone (item 1) houses the intervalometer, interlock switch, and provides aerodynamics to the pod. The tail cone (item 4) is identical to the nose cone, except it has extra markings and a hole for the insertion of a lanyard pin. An electrical connector at the aft end of the pod is used to interface with the aircraft’s 28-volt dc power supply for pod operation. Power is routed internally, through the electrical wiring (item 14), from the connector to the designed for quick reloading by using the spare loaded intervalometer (item 2).
