SHOCKSTAR SURFACE connectors are especially designed for the initiation of other shock tube detonators and to introduce a delay between holes. The connector block is designed to ensure reliable connections in two positions:
- Unlocked position for normal working conditions.
- Locked position for most demanding working condidtions with a risk of disconnection (e.g under heavy mats).
SHOCKSTAR SURFACE connectors are equipped with connector blocks able to contain 8 outgoing shock tubes. The connectors have a lowered base charge to reduce noise levels and eliminate shrapnel cut-off concerns.
SHOCKSTAR SURFACE detonator can also be used for blast initiation. It is produced in lengths of 400, 600 and 800 m and is supplied on spools. SHOCKSTAR SURFACE connectors must not be used for initiation of detonating cord.
BENEFITS
- Easy shock tube connection, locking mechanism to ensure locking of the tubes in the block if needed. Capacity of 8 shock tubes.
- Colour coding according to the delay time of the detonator.
- Excellent delay time accuracy ensures greater than 99% probaility of in-sequence initation.
- Manufactured with yellow shock tube for high visibility.
- Protected primary explosive charge.
