A connector clip (') defines a line-retaining slot () and is configured to receive a detonator () therein. The connector clip (&#x2032;) comprises a body member (&#x2032;) and a closure member (&#x2032;) which are mounted, one on the other, for movement relative to each other along a travel path between an open position in which the line-retaining slot () is accessible to lateral insertion therein of one or more signal transmission lines (), and a closed position in which the line-retaining slot () is closed to secure such signal transmission lines () therein. One of the body member (&#x2032;) and the closure member (&#x2032;) defines a cavity within which at least part of the other of the body member (&#x2032;) and the closure member (&#x2032;) is encased during travel between the open position and the closed position. The travel path between the open position and the closed position may be as short as from the width of line-retaining slot () including its access opening (), to about two times that width.
