M201 Fuze

The most important component of pyrotechnic munitions by far is the fuze. If it doesn`t work, nothing works. CTS believes in producing the most consistent and reliable M201 type fuze available today. We feel so strongly about this that we put our name not only on the munitions but cast it on every fuze body as well.

Operation

Our Model 201 is identical to the military M201A1 fuze except for cosmetic changes made to the body and for the following improvements: Twice as accurate: Timing is 1.5 ± 0.3 seconds instead of 0.7 to 2 seconds. Tougher: Body is cast of stronger Zinc alloy. Greater corrosion resistance: Coated and tested to withstand 96 hours of salt spray instead of 72 hours. Also, stainless steel hammer hinge pins are used Instead of the carbon steel variety.

Safety

The Model 201 come standard with our pull ring safety clip. When assembled to a munition, the clip retains the pull ring against the fuze body. Releasing the pull ring requires a clockwise twist before pulling the pin. The pull ring can easily be reinserted to the safe position if the pin has not been removed.
