The '''Tellermine 42''' (T.Mi.42) was a German metal-cased [[anti-tank mine|anti-tank blast mine]] used during the [[Second World War]]. The mine was a development of the [[Tellermine 35]] with improved resistance to blast. It was followed by the simplified [[Tellermine 43]].<br />
The [[Tellermine]] consists of a circular pressed steel main body with a large central pressure plate. The pressure plate is smaller than the earlier Tellermine 35, which increases the mine's resistance to blast. Two secondary fuze wells are provided for [[anti-handling devices]], one in the side, and one on the bottom of the mine. The mine has a carrying handle.<br />
<br />
The T.Mi.Z.43 pressure [[fuze]] can be fitted to Tellermine 42s. The T.Mi.Z.43 fuze is notable for featuring an integral [[anti-handling device]] as standard: when the fuze is inserted and the pressure plate screwed down into place, it shears a weak arming pin in the fuze with an audible "snap". This action arms the anti-handling device. Thereafter, any attempt to disarm the mine by unscrewing the pressure plate (to remove the fuze) will automatically trigger [[detonation]]. Since it is impossible to determine which fuze type has been installed, no pressure plate should ever be removed from a [[Tellermine]].<br />
