Abstract: End cap assemblies for retaining the through-pin of a tandem sub are disclosed. An electrical contact attachment is attached or mounted to an end cap, having an opening for receiving the through-pin, and one or more pin contact tabs in the opening. The contact attachment also includes an aperture for passing a first wire therethrough, and an insert for securing an electrically conductive wire to the electrical contact attachment itself.
Abstract: Three different devices for increasing compatibility between older perforating gun systems and newer perforating gun systems are disclosed. One end cap adapted for use with a charge carrier includes a cutout for holding an addressable switch. Another end cap adapted for use with a charge carrier provides a route for transmission of electrical signals. A pin-to-pin tandem sub also provides a route for transmission of electrical signals between perforating guns.
