Wire Seal Feedthroughs

Description

Apex Wire Seal Feedthroughs (or, Cable Pass Through Feedthroughs) are designed to pass cables from atmosphere to high vacuum. Cables can include most types of instrumentation wire or cable. Standard temperature range is from -40F to 200F. Please consult our factory if your specifications are outside this temperature range. Each wire feedthrough has a 12-month warranty.

Custom cables can usually be sealed to provide power, thermocoupling, or communication to vacuum chambers of glovebox systems. Cables such as USB, Ethernet and many photography cables have been passed through into vacuum or glovebox systems.

Applications in which these wire seal feedthroughs are commonly used are:

  • Semiconductor processing equipment
  • Particle accelerators
  • Furnaces
  • Analytical equipment
  • In-vacuum coating
  • Satellite instrumentation
  • X-ray detection equipment
  • Gloveboxes (atmospheric or vacuum)
