Electric Detonator Cap

An electric detonator cap, also known as an electric blasting cap, is a device used in explosive operations to initiate the detonation of an explosive material. It consists of a small metal shell that contains a primary explosive compound, usually lead azide or lead styphnate, and a small electric ignition system.

The electric detonator cap is connected to a blasting machine or an electrical circuit, which delivers an electrical current to the cap. When the current is applied, it ignites the primary explosive compound, causing it to rapidly decompose and generate a high-pressure shockwave. This shockwave then initiates the detonation of the main explosive charge.

Electric detonator caps are commonly used in various industries such as mining, construction, and demolition, where controlled explosions are required. They offer a reliable and precise method of initiating explosive materials, ensuring safety and efficiency in blasting operations.

It is important to note that the use of electric detonator caps should only be carried out by trained professionals who have a thorough understanding of explosive safety protocols and regulations.
