MARKET CAPABILITIES ISO 9001:2015 ISO 14001:2015 UL984 Standard for Hermetic Refrigerant Motor Compressors ITAR DDTC Registration FAQ What is a hermetic power feedthrough? A hermetic power feedthrough is a device used to transfer power or signals through a sealed barrier, such as a vacuum or pressure vessel. It is designed to maintain a hermetic seal while allowing for the transfer of electrical power or signals. What materials are used in StudSeal hermetic power feedthroughs? Our hermetic power feedthroughs use some standard materials for power feedthroughs. Conductors / Terminals: Copper or brass are standard Housings: Aluminum and stainless steel are standard Customization of material depends on the specific application and the requirements for temperature, pressure, and chemical resistance. What industries use StudSeal hermetic power feedthroughs? StudSeal hermetic power feedthroughs are used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, defense, industrial, glovebox, cryogenic, hazardous locations, medical, and semiconductor manufacturing. They are also used in research and development applications, such as in vacuum chambers for testing and experimentation. How are StudSeal hermetic power feedthroughs installed? StudSeal hermetic power feedthroughs are typically installed by drilling a hole in the barrier and inserting the feedthrough. The feedthrough is then secured in place using a nut or other fastener. The installation process may vary depending on the specific application and the type of barrier being used. Does Douglas Electrical Components offer wire or connector options for transmitting power? Yes, Douglas can either combine our connectors or wires with stud-type feedthroughs or offer designs with connectors and/or wires. In some cases, we also design hybrid designs which incorporate power and signal as well as the ability to add optical fiber into the same feedthrough. Can StudSeal hermetic power feedthroughs withstand extremely high and low temperatures? Yes, hermetic power feedthroughs can withstand extremely high and low temperatures from cryogenic to 200°C and pressures of 10,000 PSI.
