This section describes our unique line of sealed conductors
including wires, cables, and harnesses. We can permanently and hermetically seal
virtually any conductor through any housing.
Advantages of Direct Wire Harness Hermetic
Feedthrus:
- You can specify the exact conductors you need.
- You can purchase a complete interconnecting harness, fiber optic or coaxial bulkhead,
ceramic, or hermetically sealed
- prewired
- pretested
- ready to install
- Typical problems associated with connectors or "pin" style feedthroughs are eliminated
with our electrical feedthroughs:
- no more bent pins
- mismatched connector sets
- mis-wired harnesses
- false readings due to contact resistance
- special order delays
- Sealed cables can now be functionally grouped without having to allocate circuits
based on:
- connector pin sizes
- counts
- insert arrangements
- polarization or
- clocking
- Wires, cables or harnesses can be mixed or matched according to function and
routing consideration, for example a single feedthru / harness can contain a mixture
of:
- copper wires
- fiber optic cables
- thermocouples (including different alloys)
- power cables
- shielded pairs
- triplets
- quads
- There is a significant cost and schedule savings realized with the use of hermetic
sealed connectors.
- The circuit density (number of circuits per square inch of port
plate) can be increased by a factor of 10, versus hermetic pin and socket connectors.
This can eliminate entire ports or penetration plates and can free up existing space
for other circuits or penetrations.
- Optical fibers are sealed using the same technology
as electrical conductors and can be integrated into any of the designs listed in
the product line
- The product line is described in three sections:
- Standard Wire Harness Feedthru:
- The user selects an appropriate, then selects
a wire bundle from the list of standard bundles
- The bundle lengths on each side of
the housing may be specified.
Please refer to the pages in the NPT
Housings and Pressure Housing page of this site.
- Custom wire harness Feedthrus:
- The user may select an appropriate standard housing
- Specify the exact electrical
wire bundle needed for the application
- The bundle length on each side of the housing
may be specified.
Please refer to the Solutions section
of this site.
- Application Engineered Wire Harness Feedthrus for situations that don't lend
themselves to solutions with either a Standard or Custom harness, we can design a
feedthru explicitly for your application the design can include:
- The exact conductor/harness you need
- The housing or enclosure for the best installation
- Most of our OEM manufacturers
are using feedthrus that have been Application Engineered for their specific needs.
Please refer to the Custom
Wire Harness Feedthrus in Standard Housings section for a discussion of our various
capabilities.
