  • Publication number: 20240102781
    Abstract: A detonator housing facilitates assembly of detonator components of a perforating gun. In an example, the detonator housing comprises a housing body configured for coupling to a charge tube of a perforating gun. A detonator receptacle is formed on the housing body for receiving a detonator. A detonating cord receptacle is formed on the housing body adjacent the detonator receptacle for receiving an end portion of a detonating cord in an overlapping relationship with the detonator. A detonating cord stop is formed on the detonating cord receptacle to limit an insertion depth of the detonating cord within the detonating cord receptacle.
