Alford Plain Detonator Adaptor
Alford Plain Detonator Adaptor

The Plain Detonator Adaptor™ (PDA) connects a standard plain detonator to a detonating cord line. It's a small plastic moulding fitted and crimped onto the end of the detonator. Use it with the Split Screw to secure the detonator in the charge so it can't work loose or fall out.

How it works

  1. A U-shaped cradle on the PDA accepts the detonating cord.
  2. You can adjust the charge’s position along the cord. Once engaged, you can’t remove it from the ring main.
  3. When the cord initiates, it punches out a small plastic disc.
  4. The disc travels down the tube and strikes the detonator’s primary material, initiating it.
