==Description== The majority of the mine was made with sheet metal and the mine’s overall shape is circular. The weight of the mine was 8.7 kg and the weight of the TNT explosive was about 4.9 kg. The diameter of the Tellermine was about 32 cm and the height was 90mm. The fuse typically used with the Tellermine 35 was the T.Mi.Z.35. On the mine, there is usually lettering that says what type of fuze is in the mine.

A later variant of the mine, the T.Mi.35 (S) was produced with a ribbed case and a fuze cover. The ribbed case stopped sand from blowing off the top of the mine when it was used in a desert or sandy environment.

| - ==Description== The majority of the mine was made with sheet metal and the mine’s overall shape is circular. The weight of the mine was 8.7 kg and the weight of the TNT explosive was about 4.9 kg. The diameter of the Tellermine was about 32 cm and the height was 90mm. The fuse typically used with the Tellermine 35 was the T.Mi.Z.35. On the mine, there is usually lettering that says what type of fuze is in the mine. The threshold for detonation is between 79.3 kg and 181.4 kg. Once this weight has been reached, a spring becomes compressed, shears the pin that holds the striker, and releases the striker. The striker than hits the percussion cap and activates the detonating meachanism. The Tellermine 35 and the Tellermine 35 Stahl could be used in a wide variety of locations including deserts, forests, plains, even under water (as long as the mines were kept in a special case). To neutralize the mine, one must disarm anti-handling devices that may have been set up, disarm the mine by pressing a safety pin back in the slot, and move the dial at the top of the fuze so that it says "sicher" that means safe, not "scharf".
- For use on beaches and underwater the mine could be deployed inside a specially designed earthenware or concrete pot, which acted as a waterproof jacket for the mine. A later variant of the mine, the T.Mi.35 (S) was produced with a ribbed case and a fuze cover. The ribbed case stopped sand from blowing off the top of the mine when it was used in a desert or sandy environment. Pressure of 400 pounds (180 kg) on the center of the mine or 200 pounds (90 kg) on its edge deforms the pressure plate compressing a spring, and breaking a shear pin which holds back the spring-loaded striker. Once the striker is released it flips downwards into a percussion cap which fires the adjacent detonator followed by the booster charge and then the main explosive filling of TNT.
