1. A perforating gun assembly comprising:
a first cylindrical body composed of an electrical insulator having a plurality of orthogonal hollow cutouts in a first orthogonal perforation plane, the plurality of hollow cutouts further containing a plurality of shaped charges, one shaped charge disposed in each cutout;
a first detonator disposed within a center portion of the cylindrical body, wherein the shaped charges perforate in the first orthogonal plane when detonated by the first detonator;
a threaded cylindrical interface at a protruding distal end of the first cylindrical body wherein the threaded cylindrical interface has a common center axis and includes a thru hole located therethrough;
a contact retainer nut coupled to the threaded cylindrical interface; and
a contact pin, having a substantially cylindrical shaped body and disposed partially within the thru hole, protruding from the threaded cylindrical interface, and restrained by the retainer nut.
