ABSTRACT:
A detonator-to-shock tube ignition transfer connector for bi-directional explosive transfer from a detonator to one or more shock tubes is disclosed wherein the connector has a housing defining a barrel portion for enclosing a detonator assembly, the barrel portion having an opening at both ends, and a coupling attached to one end of the barrel portion. The coupling and the barrel portion form a coupling channel for holding shock tubes within the path of an explosive force created when a detonator assembly positioned in the barrel portion is ignited, thereby initiating the shock tubes. The invention also includes a collar lock for holding the detonator assembly within the barrel portion and preventing the detonator assembly from being accidentally removed.
