Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for reliably communicating a detonation signal and perforating oil and/or gas well casings. Particularly, at least one embodiment includes a pass-through bulkhead connection switch that can reliably withstand high operating temperatures and pressures. Such pass-through bulkhead connection switch can be used in perforating gun assemblies and can eliminate or reduce incidents of failed detonations.
