Description
This metallic cased fuze is threaded at the base and protected by a transit cap. The movable head projects from the upper end. The tilt rod, which has a hole near the top for fastening the tripwire, is screwed into the movable head. A safety pin is located at the junction of the head and the fuze body. The safety is held in position by a yoke that passes around the fuze body. The spring-loaded striker is kept in place by two retaining balls.
The fuze, fitted with a short tile rod or a 3-pronged head for pressure actuation, is used with the Model 1951 bounding shrapnel antipersonnel mine and Model 1950 trip flare. It is fitted with a long tilt rod for use with the Model 1948 plate charge antitank mine.
