Abstract:

1. The method of joining a bridge wire to a pair of electrodes in a detonator in which the electrodes are separated by a dielectric, comprising the steps of aligning a plurality of detonators in a mounting jig, stringing bridge wire across the electrodes of said plurality of detonator assemblies, tensioning said wire until said wire and electrodes are in intimate contact, placing a droplet of conductive silver paint to the point of contact of said wire and said electrode, allowing said paint to harden at ambient temperature, and cutting said wire adjacent the outer periphery of said assembly to separate said detonators.
