ABSTRACT:
An extremely fast operating, explosive operated, switch wherein a torus supports and insulates the facing ends of flat wires of the open circuit to be closed. An explosive input is applied to a conducting piston swage member which normally is insulated from the flat wires by the torus. This moves the swage portion of the member into the torus which forces it off of the ends of the wire. The swage portion then closes the circuit by jamming the frustro-conical swage surface thereof into both flat wires.
