Abstract
An electrical connector module is for completing an electrical connection in a wellbore device. The module has an outer surface having at least one groove that receives and frictionally retains an electrical wire in a circuitous path that relieves strain on the wire. An electrical connector is at least partially disposed in the at least one groove and is connected to the electrical wire.

An electrical connector module for completing an electrical connection in a wellbore device, the module comprising an outer surface having at least one groove that receives and frictionally retains an electrical wire in a circuitous path that relieves strain on the wire.
An electrical connector module for completing an electrical connection in a wellbore device, the module comprising an outer surface having at least one groove that receives and frictionally retains an electrical wire in a circuitous path that relieves strain on the wire when one of the module and device is moved with respect to the other of the module and device, an electrical connector at least partially disposed in the at least one groove and connected to the electrical wire, wherein when one of the module and the device is moved with respect to the other of the module and device, the at least one groove provides strain relief on the electrical wire and prevents disconnection between the electrical wire and electrical connector.
A modular perforating gun assembly, comprising:
- a first perforating gun having a first end and a second end;
- a second perforating gun having a first end and a second end;
- and
- an electrical connector module electrically connecting the first end of the first perforating gun to the second end of the second perforating gun, the electrical connector module comprising a first end that receives and electrically connects with at least one electrical wire extending from the first end of the first perforating gun while relieving strain on the at least one electrical wire and a second end having a plug connector for electrically connecting with the second end of the second perforating gun.
