July 18, 2011
Amphenol Industrial”s KTK connectors with downhole microD pigtails are manufactured according to customer specification and direction to eliminate the costly and tedious task of wiring and soldering Amphenol’s KTKs to microDs. Featuring a bi-directional PSI of 20,000, the KTK high-pressure downhole connectors for oil and gas downhole tools offer a high pressure and high temperature sealed connection standard in the downhole industry. The connectors are a good fit for applications that require low maintenance, high accuracy, and dependability while remaining flexible and limiting the risks associated with in-hole loss. Fully compatible with Kintec and GE Tensor layouts, Amphenol’s KTK connectors are a good fit for use in MWD (measurement while drilling) systems, LWD (logging while drilling) tools and downhole batteries. Amphenol’s KTK downhole connector product line uses machined glass-filled epoxy and a strong thermoset plastic that retains its mechanical properties in high temperatures. The connectors are available in a medium-temperature version that withstands temperatures to 170 C and a high-temperature version that withstands up to 200 C.
