Inert Electric Temperature Switch

The X-ray correct, inert, electric temperature switch firing circuit contains all of the necessary components of an improvised explosive device (IED). The circuit is fully functional and will demonstrate that the firing switch has been activated by emitting an audible tone or illuminating the LED in the blasting cap. The circuit board contains an X-ray correct battery, wire, switch, detonator, and inert explosive.

Powered by two C batteries, this IED circuit would be activated when the electrical temperature sensor alarms due to a temperature difference. The Semtex H simulant is engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Zeff) as the real explosive threat.
