Claim 2:
3. A method of detonating explosive charges associated with a perforating gun, comprising:
sending a detonation signal from a surface, down an electric line, and into a wellbore;
further sending the detonation signal through a perforating gun to a signal transmission pin extending through a carrier end plate;
still further sending the detonation signal into an addressable switch, wherein the addressable switch determines whether the detonation signal is addressed to the perforating gun;
identifying that the detonation signal is addressed to the perforating gun, and in response, sending a detonation signal to a detonator pin extending back through the carrier end plate; and
sending the detonation signal to a detonator to initiate explosive charges residing within the perforating gun, wherein the carrier end plate isolates the addressable switch from wellbore fluids and a pressure wave generated in response to the detonation of the explosive charges.
