A device used to initiate the detonation of an explosive material, typically consisting of a small, sensitive explosive charge or other mechanism that, when activated, generates a shockwave or ignition source to trigger the main explosive charge. Detonators play a crucial role in controlling the timing and sequence of explosive events, ensuring safety and precision in explosive operations. Detonators can be electrically, mechanically, or chemically activated, depending on the application’s specific requirements.
