Patent ID: 7488194

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a downhole tubular body comprising a bore having a central axis; an electrical conductor assembly disposed within the bore of the tubular component, the assembly comprising a first end, a second end, a first conductor extending from the first end to the second end, and a second conductor also extending from the first end to the second end and being electrically isolated from the first conductor; at least one end of the assembly having a polished mating surface comprising an electrically conductive portion surrounded by a dielectric material exposed within the mating surface, the electrically conductive portion being in electrical communication with the first conductor; wherein the first and second ends of the electrical conductor assembly are substantially aligned to the central axis of the bore by attached into stabilizing elements within the bore; wherein at least one of the stabilizing elements is attached to a collar surrounding the electrical conductor assembly; wherein at least one of the stabilizing elements is selected from the group consisting of fins, rings, wave springs, rods, bristles, beads, blocks, whiskers, plates and combinations thereof.
