Abstract: A perforation tool, and a bulkhead member for a perforation tool, are disclosed. The perforation tool has a loading tube, an initiator module, and a bulkhead member connected between the loading tube and the initiator module. The bulkhead member has a hollow body member with a central transverse plate having a central bore through the transverse plate along a longitudinal axis of the body member and an electrical conductor disposed in the central bore, the electrical conductor having a pin connection at a first end thereof and a box connection at a second end thereof.
