A bulkhead connector assembly for assembly within a downhole tool to isolate a dry side of the downhole tool from a fluid side of the downhole tool and to allow electrical communication therebetween. The bulkhead connector assembly comprises a bulkhead comprising holes extending therethrough, wherein the bulkhead is adapted to form a fluid seal against an inside surface of the downhole tool. Terminals extend through the bulkhead, wherein an end of each terminal is in electrical communication with one of a plurality of electrical wires. Boots each extend about the end of a corresponding one of the terminals. A retaining block has holes each receiving one of the boots. A housing positioned around the retaining block is coupled to the bulkhead, thus positionally fixing the retaining block relative to the bulkhead.

A circuit for emulating bit-level erasable non-volatile memory includes an emulator that activates a first virtual sector of a bit-level programmable, block-level erasable non-volatile memory. The first virtual sector receives and stores write requests having an address and a record to be written to the received address. A linked list of records is used to store each subsequent record received in subsequent write requests having the received address. A separate thread in the linked list is maintained for each different received address. The last record subsequently received for each of the received addresses is copied to a linked list of a second virtual sector when a first operating parameter has been exceeded. The active virtual sector is deactivated and erased when the last record subsequently received for each of the received addresses in the linked list of the active virtual sector have been copied to the second virtual sector.
