Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A detonator block for housing a detonator has a body configured to host the detonator; the body having a first end that is configured to be attached to a sub; the body having a second end, opposite to the first end, and configured to connect to a gun; and a printed circuit board located inside the body, the printed circuit board being electrically connected to the detonator. The body has a holder that is configured to hold the detonator inside the body.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A detonator block for housing a detonator, the detonator block comprising: a body configured to host the detonator; the body having a first end that is configured to be attached to a sub; the body having a second end, opposite to the first end, and configured to connect to a gun; and a printed circuit board located inside the body, the printed circuit board being electrically connected to the detonator, and wherein the printed circuit board is shaped to extend around the detonator so that the detonator directly faces the printed circuit board, wherein the body has a holder that is configured to hold the detonator inside the body. 2. The detonator block of claim 1 , further comprising: the detonator. 3. The detonator block of claim 1 , further comprising: plural electrical contacts electrically connected to the printed circuit board, at least one electrical contact being a spring loaded contact having a respective pin. 4. The detonator block of claim 1 , further comprising: a contact switch electrically connected to the printed circuit board and having a head, wherein the contact switch electrically shunts the detonator when the head is not pressed.
