ABSTRACT:
A shock tube surface connector for initiating one or more shock tubes including a housing which forms an elongate cylindrical void, an ignition source extending from a position outside the housing to a position within the elongate cylinder, a static isolation cup disposed within the elongate cylinder adjacent to the ignition source, a sealer element disposed in the housing and on the opposite side of the static isolation cup as the ignition source, a metallic sleeve disposed within the elongate cylinder and parallel thereto, the sleeve encompassing a delay train charge at an end adjacent to the sealer element, an output charge adjacent the delay train charge and an airspace at an end opposite the sealer element. The length of the airspace, the curvature of the output charge, and the interior diameter of the metallic sleeve are selectable to vary the radial output and/or focal point of an explosive force created by ignition of the output charge.
