FAQ

Hermetic electrical feedthroughs are engineered for extreme conditions, particularly high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) applications, offering excellent thermal stability and mechanical strength.
– Extreme Temperature Range: Standard configurations can withstand temperatures ranging from -269°C to 450°C (Note: ISO KF flange configurations are rated for -25°C to 205°C).
– Core Sealing & Insulation Technology: They utilize advanced ceramic-to-metal brazing (using Alumina ceramic) or glass-to-metal sealing. This ensures long-term hermetic integrity while providing high electrical insulation and dielectric strength, even under high voltage or sensitive signal conditions.
– Vacuum System Integration: Designed with standard 304 stainless steel flanges (CF, KF, or ISO types), they utilize flange bolt mounting for secure and seamless integration into vacuum chambers.

Hermetic electrical feedthroughs are critical for safely transmitting power and signals into sealed chambers. They are widely used in demanding industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace and scientific research, vacuum furnaces, analytical instruments, and vacuum coating/plasma processing equipment. To meet specific application needs, they offer highly flexible customization options:
– Pin Count & Configuration: Featuring a multi-pin conductive design, they support 2 to 50 pins (customizable). Customers can configure these for dedicated signal transmission, power transmission, or hybrid (signal + power) configurations.
– Material & Surface Finish Options: Depending on the current rating and environment, pins can be made of Kovar, Stainless Steel, or Gold-plated copper. Surface finishes include polished, nickel-plated, or gold-plated options to optimize conductivity and corrosion resistance.
– Multi-Dimensional Adaptability: Configurations can be tailored for custom pin diameters, specific voltage/current ratings, and various flange sizes to ensure compatibility with different temperature and vacuum levels.
