Electric Blasting Cap

The Electric Detonator / Blasting Cap – Inert Replica is a high-fidelity training aid designed to safely replicate the appearance and handling of a live electric blasting cap. Manufactured from aluminium with shunted electric leads, it allows instructors to teach identification, circuit layout and safety procedures without introducing live explosive components.

Each cap is crimped on one end to the wire leads and left open on the other end to clearly indicate its inert status. With approximately 1.8m of shunted wire, the training aid is suitable for classroom work, range exercises and scenario-based training involving firing circuits and IED construction.

Product design & features

• Aluminium cap body: Realistic cylindrical body manufactured from aluminium for authentic handling characteristics.
• Crimped lead end: One end crimped to the electric leads to mirror live construction.
• Open tip to show inert status: The opposite end is left open to provide a clear visual indication that the cap is inert.
• Shunted wire leads: Approx. 1.8m of shunted leads, enabling realistic routing in training firing circuits.
• Individual units: Each cap is sold separately, allowing instructors to scale the number of training items to class size and scenario complexity.
