Detonator
détonateur
Part of an explosive train which initiates the W detonation of high
explosives, especially of insensitive ones. It may itself be triggert by a
seperate W primer of primary explosives or an integrated primer. Detonators
are classified by the method of initiation: percussion, stab,
electrical impulse, or flash. Laser initiation is also used. Depending on
the application detornators can include a delay mechanism. Explosive
charge placed in certain equipment and set to destroy the equipment
under certain conditions (W Initiator).
