ABSTRACT:
A detonating cord signal delay connector having a housing; means on the housing for engaging a first detonating cord end and a second detonating cord end; a signal delay assembly in the housing for connection between the first detonating cord end and the second detonating cord end, the signal delay assembly being operable to delay a detonating signal between the detonating cord first and second ends; and gripping means for securing the detonating cord first and second ends in the housing to prevent removal of the ends before signal delay operation of the connector. The preferred embodiment of the connector further includes means on the housing for severing detonating cord to produce the detonating cord first and second ends. The preferred embodiment of the delay assembly comprises a signal transmission tube in the housing having a first end and a second end, the first transmission tube end being adapted for signal receiving connection with the first detonating cord end; and a delay explosive train mounted in the housing and having a signal input end, a signal output end, and a preselected combustion time between the signal input and output ends, the signal input end being connected to the signal transmission tube second end, the signal output end being adapted for connection with the second detonating cord end.
