The Thermal Detonator is one of the most common secondary attacks in the game. It is just like a grenade from other games - a charge of an explosive that detonates a couple of seconds after it is thrown. Due to gravity, when throwing a detonator, you will be more likely to have to aim the reticule above your target. Although not the most damaging explosive on the game, they are very popular and do enough damage for their purpose. For a normal Stormtrooper and Rebel Soldier, the thermal detonator explodes a few seconds after contact with the ground. In Star Wars Battlefront, thermal detonators do not stick, but in SWBF2 they can adhere to vehicles and turrets.
