Coated Electrical Connector Bands & Pressure Compensation Assemblies for Downhole Electrical Disconnect Tools

A method of manufacturing a downhole electrical disconnect tool (“EDT”), comprising:

• providing a female receptacle sub, comprising:
• a receptacle housing having a bore therethrough;
• a female electrical connector positioned along the receptacle housing;
• and
• a metallic receptacle connector band in electrical contact with the female electrical connector, the metallic receptacle connector band having:
• a first coated section overlaid with electrically insulating material;
• and
• a second uncoated section providing the electrical contact with the female electrical connector;
• and
• providing a male sub, comprising:
• a male housing having a bore therethrough;
• a male electrical connector positioned along the male housing;
• and
• a metallic male connector band in electrical contact with the male electrical connector, the metallic male connector band having:
• a first coated section overlaid with electrically insulating material, the first coated section of the male connector band positioned in contact with the first coated section of the receptacle connector band;
• and
• a second uncoated section providing the electrical contact with the male electrical connector, the second uncoated section of the male connector band positioned in contact with the second uncoated section of the receptacle connector band to provide electrical connection between the male and female electrical connectors.

A downhole electrical disconnect tool (“EDT), comprising:

• a female receptacle sub having a metallic receptacle connector band coated with electrical insulating material, wherein a section of the receptacle connector band is uncoated;
• and
• a male sub having a metallic male connector band coated with electrical insulating material, wherein a section of the male connector band is uncoated,
• wherein the uncoated sections of the receptacle and male connector bands mate with one another to establish an electrical connection.
