FIELD JOINT FOR A DOWNHOLE TOOL

摘要

A field joint (104) for connecting a plurality of downhole tool modules is disclosed. The modules include a housing and an electrical line. A bulkhead (224) is coupled to a first module (116) that includes a first conduit aperture for receiving an electrical connector assembly (242). The first electrical connector assembly is releasably coupled to the exterior portion of the first module and includes a first connector having a first end adapted for electrical coupling to an electrical line. A connector block (200) is coupled to the second module (118) that includes a second conduit aperture positioned to substantially face the first conduit aperture when the first and second modules are joined. A second electrical- connector is disposed in the second conduit aperture and is electrically coupled to an electrical line such that an electrical contact is established with a second end of the first connector when the first and second modules are joined.
