Abstract
According to an aspect an initiator head assembly (10, 110) is provided having particular application with a perforating gun assembly, in particular for oil well drilling applications. The initiator head assembly includes a body (20, 120) and an electrical contact component (40, 140) with the electrical contact component embedded therein. In another aspect, the initiator head assembly with the embedded electrical contact component is configured as a unitary component and also to hold a pressure differential across the top and bottom parts of the initiator head assembly. In an aspect, the method of forming the initiator head assembly is also generally described.
