Different Types of Connectors Play an Indispensable Role in the Oil and Gas Industry

Sunkye Customized Connectors Meet the Requirement of Different Devices in Oil and Gas Field. With High Performance of High Reliability in Interconnection.

In the petroleum industry, connectors are subjected to stringent environmental and performance standards across various settings. Whether it be in onshore oil and gas exploration, drilling operations, or oceanic development, the equipment's structural characteristics and environmental conditions necessitate reliable and structurally stable connections and seals to ensure optimal functionality in challenging surroundings.

For instance, drilling logging instruments consist of multiple short connections, with single-pin connectors facilitating communication and power supply between each connection to establish a dependable link.

Moreover, common oil exploration practices involve Measurement While Drilling (MWD) and Logging While Drilling (LWD). MWD typically comprises a probe, batteries, pulse components, gamma sensors, while LWD includes a probe, batteries, pulse components, and resistivity sensors. These systems require various electronic components for internal connections. Micro D connectors with 9 or 15 pins are commonly utilized for internal wiring or circuit board connections. Circular or rectangular connectors like Micro D and D38999 are employed for the tail connections of battery packs in MWD and LWD systems, with different shell plating options such as nickel or cadmium plating used based on the application environment.

Specializing in miniature connectors, Sunkye focuses on delivering high-performance connectors for applications in space, aerospace, military, medical, and the oil and gas sectors. Sunkye's product range includes Micro D, Nano D, Arinc 600, and D38999 connectors. Within the petroleum industry, Sunkye offers customized connectors tailored to meet diverse environmental requirements, including high-temperature and high-pressure connectors, as well as glass-sealed connectors. These connectors are crafted from materials like high-temperature alloys, fluororubber, alloys, ceramics, PEEK (polyether ether ketone), among others.
