Abstract
An improved perforating gun assembly. The perforating gun assembly includes an alternating sequence of perforating guns and tandems. Each perforating gun includes two contact housings, and each contact housing includes an electrical connector plug protruding in an axial direction. The electrical connector plug includes an outwardly bowed middle portion that is resiliently deformable—also referred to as a banana pin connector plug. The banana pin connector plug is received within a socket opening in an electrically conductive pass-through element that is centrally received within the tandem. The pass-through element is surrounded by an insulating sleeve, such that the pass-through element is electrically isolated from an electrically grounded portion of the tandem and transfers a firing signal from a first perforating gun to a second perforating gun.
