Shielded Vacuum Feedthrough

Innovacera’s high-voltage shielded vacuum feedthrough is a dedicated through-wall electrode designed for vacuum chamber power transmission. Featuring an embedded grounded shield, 5kV / 3.6A electrical rating, 304 stainless steel housing, ceramic to metal hermetic sealing and a welded plug-free structure, it enables high voltage power to be safely introduced into vacuum chambers while maintaining reliable airtight sealing.The grounded shielding design helps suppress high voltage field interference, minimize leakage risk and prevent electrical breakdown, making it suitable for demanding vacuum equipment and precision high voltage applications.

Shielded Vacuum Feedthrough

Key Design Advantages

– Grounded shielding structure:
The high voltage coaxial shielding design helps reduce discharge risk and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for precision processing and testing equipment.
– Embedded structure with welded installation:
The feedthrough can be directly welded onto the vacuum chamber wall, providing excellent hermetic sealing performance and making it suitable for high vacuum and ultra high vacuum environments.
– 304 stainless steel with ceramic to metal hermetic sealing:
The combination of 304 stainless steel and ceramic to metal sealing provides excellent temperature resistance,corrosion resistance and vacuum tightness,meeting the demanding requirements of precision manufacturing.
– Plug free design:
The plug free configuration supports on site wiring and welded connection. It is commonly used for permanent equipment assembly and is well suited for customized integration in mass-production equipment.

Why Use a Shielded High Voltage Vacuum Feedthrough?

High voltage transmission inside a vacuum chamber is not only a power connection issue. It also involves electric field stability, insulation reliability, leakage control and vacuum sealing performance.
Compared with ordinary electrical connectors, this shielded high voltage vacuum feedthrough with ceramic to metal sealing is specifically engineered for vacuum chamber wall penetration. The grounded shielding design helps suppress unwanted electric field distribution, while the ceramic to metal hermetic seal ensures strong insulation and vacuum tight performance.This makes it suitable for semiconductor equipment, precision instruments and high voltage vacuum systems where process stability and safety are critical.

FAQ

A shielded high-voltage vacuum feedthrough is a specialized ceramic-to-metal hermetic connector engineered to transmit electrical power (up to 5kV DC / 3.6A) into vacuum chambers without losing seal integrity. The integrated grounded shield design is essential because it isolates high-voltage electrical fields, suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI), prevents electrical breakdown, and eliminates leakage risks—ensuring process stability and safety in demanding environments like semiconductor equipment, mass spectrometers, and UHV systems.

This feedthrough features a weldable 304 stainless steel housing, allowing it to be directly welded onto chamber walls for permanent, ultra-high vacuum (UHV) hermetic sealing. For operating conditions, it withstands maximum pressures up to 1400 PSIG @ 20°C. Its working temperature range is -269°C to 450°C in its plug-free configuration, and -65°C to 165°C when equipped with a plug.
