SURFACE CONNECTOR (SC) DETONATOR

SC (inter-hole/inter-row) detonators consist of a single low strength, aluminium delay detonator, attached to a length of plastic shock tube. The detonator is housed within a colour coded plastic connector block.

Each connector block allows up to eight outgoing shock tubes to be initiated. The free end of the shock tube is closed with a waterproof seal and fitted with a plastic J clip for use with detonating cord.

SC detonators are designed to be used in conjunction with millisecond in-hole detonators

APPLICATION

SC detonators are designed as a surface (inter-hole/inter-row) relay system, which enables an unlimited number of blastholes to be fired in sequence.

SC detonators are commonly used in conjunction with a delay detonator in every blasthole. The normal practice is for all the inhole detonators to have the same delay period and, as a result, the SC surface detonators control the firing sequence.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Space for 8 shock tubes (4 x 2) within the connector block
• Easy clipping connector block for good shock tube retention
• Relaxed (non rigid) shock tube
• Convenient packaging - coiled, not figure eight
• Range of conventional delay periods and non common delay periods available on request
