Abstract

A downhole sensor tool includes a sensor outsert coupled into an exterior pocket of the tool body. The sensor outsert is a pressure vessel with an exterior electrical connector coupled to the interior sensor. The sensor outsert contains a sensor, and is pressure-sealed about the sensor. The outsert includes an electrical connector coupled to the sensor. The electrical connector maintains the pressure seal of the outsert. The electrical connector may be a hermetic connector. The electrical connector can be coupled to an electrical connector or a hermetic connector of the tool body while maintaining the sealing of the pressure vessel.
