The gas actuated bolt disconnect is utilized for detachably securing two parts that are desired to be releasably connected. These parts may include, for example, a cable and weight, two ends of a tension cable used to connect a jettisonable satellite to a rocket propelling vehicle, or for connecting the various stages of a rocket vehicle, and the like. A bolt assembly is provided in which the gaseous charge forces are confined wholly within the assembly. Disconnect takes place without the danger of shrapnel damage to adjacent structure.
