This mine has a bakelite case of two sections. The lower one contains the explosive and booby-trapping well and the upper one acts as a pressure lid. The pressure lid has four fuze well covers fitted with rubber gaskets. In the side walls of the case are four holes to receive shear lugs introduced through the fuze wells to lock the two parts of the case together. The joint between the two parts is sealed with a broad band of rubber. This mine has one boobytrapping fuze well.

This mine is used to damage tracks or suspension systems of armored vehicles. Ordinarily it is buried about 5.0 centimeters below the surface of the ground.
