CONNECTORS FOR WIRED NETWORKS FOR DETONATORS

摘要

There is disclosed and claimed a wired network of electrically operable detonators. The network includes a plurality of wired detonator assemblies each including a detonator. The wired assemblies being connected into the network by connectors 10 each including at least one conductive spigot formation 16 removably receivable in a socket 32 which is at least partially lined with a conductive element 34. In the preferred embodiment each connector 10 includes first and second connector halves 12 and 28. The first and second connector halves each includes a body 14, 30 and part of a commercially available connector. The bodies in use forming a water-tight housing for the mating connector parts.
