Claim 5:
6. The detonator pin of claim 2, wherein:
the signal transmission pin has a proximal end and a distal end, with the distal end being in electrical communication with an electrical line within a wellbore to receive signals from the surface, and the proximal end being in communication with the addressable switch;
the addressable switch resides within a switch housing downstream from the signal transmission pin, and is configured to monitor instruction signals received from the electric line at the surface, and send a detonation signal through the detonator pin to detonate charges in the perforating gun;
the signal transmission pin transmits the detonation signals from the electrical line through the end plate, and to the addressable switch; and
the detonator pin has a proximal end that extends into the switch housing and is in electrical communication with the addressable switch, and a distal end that extends into the carrier tube and is in electrical communication with the detonator.
