Abstract
Components for a perforation gun system are provided including combinations of components including a self-centralizing charge holder system and a bottom connector that can double as a spacer. Any number of spacers can be used with any number of holders for any desired specific metric or imperial shot density, phase and length gun system.
Claims20
A perforation gun system comprising:
- a gun carrier;
- a first connector comprising a coupler for providing energetic coupling between a detonator and a detonation cord, and at least one directional locking fin for locking the first connector within the gun carrier;
- and
- at least one second connector positioned in the gun carrier spaced apart from the first connector, wherein the second connector is configured for terminating the detonation cord in the perforation gun system,
- wherein at least one of the first and second connectors receive electrical connections therethrough.

A component for a perforation gun system, comprising:
- at least one second connector for terminating a detonation cord in the perforation gun system, wherein
- the at least one second connector comprises at least one rotation coupling for providing a selectable clocking rotation between other components of the perforation gun system.
