Field joint for a downhole tool

A field joint for connecting a first downhole tool module and a second downhole tool module, the first downhole tool module having a first housing and a first electrical line disposed therein, the second downhole tool module having a second housing and a second electrical line disposed therein, the field joint comprising:

• a bulkhead coupled to the first housing and having a first connection face, the connection face defining a central region and a peripheral region surrounding the central region, the central region having a plurality of first fluid connectors, the peripheral region including a first conduit aperture;
• a first electrical connector assembly configured to be coupled to the first conduit aperture, the first electrical connector assembly including a first connector having a first end adapted for electrical coupling to the first electrical line and having a second end;
• a connector block coupled to the second housing and having a second connection face, the second connection face defining at least one central hole and a peripheral region surrounding the at least one central hole, the at least one central hole being sized for receiving a plurality of second fluid connectors being positioned to fluidly couple with the first fluid connectors of the first connection face, the peripheral region including a second conduit aperture positioned to substantially face the first conduit aperture when the first and second tool modules are joined;
• and
• a second electrical connector disposed in the second conduit aperture, the second electrical connector being electrically coupled to the second electrical line and configured for electrical coupling to the second end of the first electrical connector.
