Only 5,000 were produced, as the mine proved complex to produce for a number of reasons. The fuze was complex and designed to be interchangeable with artillery fuzes, so artillery shells could be used alongside the mines, also the sheet metal case was hard to produce.
The production of only 5,000 mines was limited due to the mine's complex manufacturing process. The fuze design required intricate engineering and aimed to be interchangeable with artillery fuses, enabling the use of artillery shells alongside the mines. Furthermore, the sheet metal casing proved difficult to produce.
