  • Patent number: 7237626
    Abstract: A tool module interconnect (10) for interconnecting to adjoining modules for insertion in a drill string features a system which permits making the electrical interconnection before assembly of the mechanical connections to interconnect the tool modules together. The interconnect comprises a hollow interconnect body (18) open at both ends. A wire harness (18) is provided in the hollow body with terminal end connectors (26, 28) accessible from the respective open end of the interconnect body. The interconnect is adapted for attachment to adjoining modules, where at least one end has a rotatable threaded sleeve (24) for connection to a tool module by a threaded collar.

    Abstract: Tool module interconnect for interconnecting to adjoining modules for insertion in a drill string features a system which permits making the electrical interconnection before assembly of the mechanical connections to interconnect the tool modules together. The interconnect comprises a hollow interconnect body open at both ends. A wire harness is provided in the hollow body with terminal end connectors accessible from the respective open end of the interconnect body. Both ends of the interconnect body are threaded with at least one end having a rotatable threaded sleeve adapted for connection to a tool module by a threaded collar. The ends of the interconnect body are adapted to receive seals for sealing each end of the interconnect body to a respective threaded collar when assembled to prevent thereby ingress of drilling mud into the hollow interconnect body. An interlock is provided at least at one end of the interconnect body with rotatable thread sleeve to engage the interconnect body with the tool module.
