Abstract:
1. A method for coupling a first detonator and a second detonator to at least one explosive, the method comprising the steps of: providing a housing that includes a first detonator receptacle, a second detonator receptacle, and a plurality of transmission line receptacles radially surrounding the first and second detonator receptacle on at least two sides, the plurality of transmission line receptacles receiving a plurality of transmission lines, wherein each of said transmission line receptacles is semicircular in shape so as to retain said transmission lines with respect to said housing and to form an aperture operable for exposing an inner facing section of said transmission lines to a force generated by said first or second detonators emanating away from said first or second detonators; inserting the first detonator into the first detonator receptacle of the housing to communicate with the plurality of transmission lines; inserting the second detonator into the second detonator receptacle of the housing to communicate with the plurality of transmission lines; and coupling the plurality of transmission lines to the at least one explosive.
