Inert Mousetrap Switch

The X-ray correct, inert mousetrap firing circuit will function via pressure release or pull. The circuit board 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 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 D batteries, this IED circuit would be activated by the modified mousetrap switch. The mousetrap switch can be activated when pressure is removed from the bail, or the insulator is removed. The X-ray correct Semtex 1A simulant is engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Zeff) as the real explosive threat.
