All components and parts of the detonator are placed in a plastic housing (1). The housing is closed from above by a head (2) made of elastic plastic. A plunger (3) is mounted in the head, on the lower bevel of which an ignition composition (5) is placed. In addition, the lower part of the plunger has a needle, which, when the plunger is lowered, pierces the shell (8) of the flame amplifier (7). The plunger is guided by a sleeve (4), which is cut into four segments from below. The inner part of the bevels of the segments is covered with a grating composition (6). The housing has a threaded fitting at the bottom, onto which a union nut (9) is screwed. The nut holds the detonator capsule (10), which has a side in its upper part.
If a force exceeding 50 kg is applied to the head (2) in the vertical direction from top to bottom, then the plunger (3), overcoming the resistance of the side faces of the head and the segments of the sleeve (4), moves downwards. At the same time, the segments of the sleeve begin to diverge to the sides and exert friction on the ignition composition (5). At the same time, the plunger needle pierces the shell (10) of the flame amplifier (7). The force of the flame of the ignition composition ignites the flame amplifier. The flame penetrates the detonator capsule, which explodes.
