Abstract
Methods of manufacturing an electrical connector for use in a downhole tool are described. The methods include placing or molding a dielectric body around a conductor, thereby forming an electrical connector. The dielectric body is composed of a composition, which itself contains a polyetherketoneketone or a derivative of polyetherketoneketone. The placement of the dielectric body around the conductor can be accomplished by molding the body around the conductor, for example, by molding techniques such as extrusion, injection molding, pressure molding, compression molding, and casting. An electrical connector for use in a downhole tool is also provided. The electrical connector contains a dielectric body and a conductor. The dielectric body includes a composition, which itself is composed of a polyetherketoneketone or a derivative of a polyetherketoneketone. The electrical connector of the invention is adapted for use in a downhole tool.
