Depends on your definition of "starting" a detonation. A detonation is initiated by any number of things- a signal to detonate given by a watcher, a timer, or an action of the victim, such as moving an item. The explosives sequence is usually begun by a detonator- similar to a blasting cap. This contains a small amount of sensitive primary explosive that provides the donor energy to make the main explosive load detonate.

initiator
The component of an IED that creates an electrical charge is typically a battery or power source. This electrical charge is used to initiate the explosive material or trigger the detonation mechanism of the IED.
initiator
The detonator is the component of an IED that initiates the explosion by igniting the main charge. It is typically a small device that is triggered by a timing mechanism, remote control, or pressure sensor.
