Bridge wire initiator for explosives and method for making such an initiator

摘要

The exothermic instrument for firing an explosive comprises a circuit board 1 having a heat resist layer 6 on a substrate 11 and an exothermic resistance 4, which connects to a pair of through hole conductive electrodes 13 passing through the substrate 11, contacting with the explosive 19 on the heat resist layer 6, a pair of electrode pins 8, each one thereof is inserted into each one of the through hole conductive electrodes, and an insulator for holding the circuit board 1 through which the electrode pins 8 pass.
