To be honest, I don’t know the brand. They are not in the box. They are
however the same color lead wire (black) and appear to be the same make. A
single one is 3.2 ohms.

What brand electric match?
3 in series should have 3 times the resistance of a single match.

What’s a good range for the resistance of electric matches?
For my project, there will be 3 parachutes deployed from separate side-bays and
initiating the charges at apogee.
Connecting the matches up in series and testing today.
I know the resistance will go up with the series connections, but would like to
get an idea what the range should be.
Thank you,
