A metallic case (200) for a pyrotechnical igniter of a gas generator for a vehicle safety device that includes a peripheral side wall (204), a closed end (206), and a weak zone (202) in the peripheral side wall. The weak zone extends along a continuous trace (208) having a first end portion (208A), a second end portion (208B), and an intermediate portion (208C)between the first and second end portions. The first and second end portions of the continuous trace both transition from a first point (A) having a first side wall depth to a second point (B) having a second side wall depth. The second side wall depth is greater than the first side wall depth. The weak zone is configured for opening a vent in the peripheral side wall in response to an increase of pressure within the metallic case.
