Connector for perforating gun system

A method of perforating a well, comprising:

• suspending a first perforating gun and a second perforating gun on a conveyance into the well;
• transmitting a signal down the conveyance, wherein the signal at least partially traverses:
• the first perforating gun;
• a perforating gun connection;
• and
• the second perforating gun;
• and
• in response to the signal:
• selecting the second perforating gun to fire;
• and
• firing a shaped charge in the second perforating gun,
• wherein the first perforating gun and the second perforating gun are connected via the perforating gun connection,
• wherein the perforating gun connection comprises a pin which extends from the first perforating gun to a contact tab of the second perforating gun,
• wherein a spring element, coupled with the contact tab, elastically deforms in response to the contact tab engaging with the pin, and
• wherein the spring element is a non-coiled spring and comprises a first bend.

A plurality of perforating guns, comprising:

• a first perforating gun;
• a second perforating gun, comprising:
• a contact tab;
• and
• a spring element coupled with the contact tab, wherein the spring element is a non-coiled spring and comprises a first bend;
• and
• a perforating gun connection which connects the first perforating gun to the second perforating gun, wherein the perforating gun connection comprises:
• a pin which extends from the first perforating gun to the contact tab, wherein the spring element elastically deforms in response to the contact tab engaging with the pin,
• wherein the plurality of perforating guns is configured to perform a method for perforating a well, comprising:
• receiving a signal down a conveyance to the first perforating gun and through the perforating gun connection to the second perforating gun;
• and
• firing a shaped charge in the second perforating gun, in response to the signal.
