Abstract
A detonator includes a detonating capsule, a detonator head storing an electronic circuit board, and a retaining arm configured to fix the detonating capsule to the detonator head. The electronic circuit board is a multidimensional circuit board that extends from the detonator head into engagement with the detonating capsule.
Claims19
A detonator, comprising:
- a housing;
- a first printed circuit board supported in the housing;
- an appendage extending from the housing and defining a channel, the appendage having a tab;
- and
- a detonating capsule configured for receipt in the channel of the appendage, wherein the detonating capsule defines an opening configured to be selectively engaged by the tab to retain the detonating capsule in the channel of the appendage;
- wherein the first printed circuit board includes:
- a main body portion;
- and
- a bent portion extending from the main body portion, the bent portion configured to detachably couple to the detonating capsule and is received in the channel of the appendage.

A detonator, comprising:
- a housing defining an inner chamber;
- a printed circuit board supported in the inner chamber of the housing;
- an appendage including:
- a body portion extending from the housing and defining a longitudinally-extending channel;
- a retaining arm having a proximal end portion movably coupled to the body portion;
- and
- a tab extending from a free, distal end portion of the retaining arm;
- and
- a detonating capsule configured for receipt in the channel of the body portion, wherein the detonating capsule defines an opening configured to be selectively engaged by the tab to retain the detonating capsule in the channel of the body portion.
