Description
Another of the elbow type fuzes, the Mk 235 fuze body is connected by a flexible coupling to the external driving unit. The body part resembles somewhat the Nose Mechanical Impact Fuze AN-M103 with its sliding detonator shutter. However, in this fuze there is only the delay firing train. A snap ring in a groove on the neck of striker holds the striker away from the hammer after the arming screw is out, until it is forced out on impact. When armed, this fuze is extremely sensitive.
The detonator has an expansion hole above it in the unarmed position, so that accidental detonation cannot set off the tetryl booster.
