A cartridge assembly for use with a perforating system having a contact terminal that connects to a perforating signal line when inserted into a receptacle end of a perforating gun. A detonator may be included in an end of the cartridge assembly for initiating a detonating cord in the perforating gun. The cartridge assembly is a modular unit that replaces the manual connections made when assembling a string of perforating guns. The cartridge assembly may optionally include a controller switch for controlling current flow through the cartridge assembly.
