Abstract:
A perforating gun connection whereby a signal may be carried from surface, down through a wireline or other conveyance, and across the connection from the pin on one perforating gun to an electrical contact structure on the next perforating gun in the string. In an example, the connection includes a connector body with an electrical pin positioned for contact with an electrical contact structure on the next perforating gun. The electrical contact structure has a contact tab aligned for engagement by the pin when connected with the connector body. The electrical contact structure may be unitarily formed to include a number of features to facilitate connection between perforating guns.
