Patent ID: 7237626

Claim:
A tool module interconnect for interconnecting adjacent tool modules for insertion in a drill string, said interconnect comprising: an interconnect body; a means for connecting said interconnect body to adjacent tool modules, wherein said means for connecting said interconnect body to adjacent tool modules comprises at least one rotatable threaded sleeve, said rotatable threaded sleeve being adapted for threaded connection to one of said adjacent tool modules; an interlock on an end of said interconnect body corresponding to said rotatable threaded sleeve, said interlock engaging said interconnect body end with one of said tool modules; and a wire harness in a longitudinal bore of said interconnect body having at each terminal end connectors where each said connector is floating, unrestricted and accessible from its respective end of the interconnect body; said interconnect serving to separate the connector from the interconnect body to reduce the transfer of operational stresses and shock to the electrical components of the interconnect.
