Conector para uso en una instalacion de ignicion de detonador electronico, que comprende una parte inferior y una parte de cubierta conectados con forma de bisagra una a la otra, donde dicha parte inferior esta configurada para recibir un primer extremo de un cable de linea de detonacion cuya linea termina en su segundo extremo dentro de un detonador, y donde ademas dicha parte inferior comprende al menos un punto de contacto electrico en el cual termina el primer extremo de dicha linea durante su uso.

摘要

A connector (12) for use in an electronic detonator firing installation wherein the connector (12) comprises a down-line connector part (22) and cover connector part (20) hingedly connected to each other through connection means, the down-line connector part (22) configured to receive a first end of a detonator line cable which line terminates on its second end in a detonator, the down-line connector part further comprising at least one electrical contact point (28a and 28b) in which the first end of the detonator line terminates in use, the electrical contact point being housed in a connection chamber (24) defined between the connected ends of the down¬ line connector part and cover connector part. The cover connector part defines an internal cavity (50) to accommodate electronic circuitry which is to enhance the functionality of the connecter and/or detonator firing installation in use.
