DuctorSeal® hermetic wire feedthroughs and sealed cable assemblies provide custom, liquid- and gas-tight electrical pass-throughs for various applications. Our hermetic feedthroughs come pre-wired and pre-tested, ensuring seamless drop-in use. DuctorSeal supports virtually any electrical connection combination on vacuum and atmospheric sides, accommodating conductor counts of up to 3,000 wires for demanding applications. Hermetically seal directly to the conductor to create a robust, sealed feedthrough with ultimate design flexibility. Integrate virtually any cable assembly options including termination, jacketing/shielding, and connectorization to have a drop-in, pre-tested hermetic feedthrough ready for install.
Ultimate Design Flexibility
Each end of the bulkhead wire feedthrough can be customized to feature wires, jacketed cables, or connectors, with the hermetic sealing point located within the epoxy of the bulkhead at the conductor. DuctorSeal’s epoxy-sealed feedthroughs are designed to meet leak-rate requirements, even in stranded wire applications, and comprise precision-machined housings made from materials such as aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, brass, specialty alloys, and plastic. A variety of mechanical interfaces are available including threaded connections, flanges, and customized fittings.
To simplify installation, Douglas Electrical Components offers integrated terminals and connectors at each end of the wires and cables, saving time on the factory floor or in the field. If you’re potting cables in your operation, Douglas offers the expertise to do this process efficiently, with fully tested assemblies ready for use. Virtually any connector type can be integrated, with Douglas sourcing all components according to your needs. Our custom hermetic feedthroughs can withstand a range of environments, with vacuum capabilities from 1×10-10 Torr to pressures of 15,000 psi. Operating temperatures range from 4 K (LHe) to 200°C. High voltage and low cross-section sealed wire feedthroughs operating up to 30kV-DC are also available.
High Pressure Feedthroughs
High pressure electrical feedthroughs are commonly designed using wires and cables within the pass through assembly. Douglas manufactures its high pressure wire feedthroughs to withstand pressures up to 15,000 PSI (1,000 bar) in various mechanical interfaces including threaded connections and radial O-ring seals. While epoxy is not commonly associated with high pressure feedthroughs, Douglas manufactures high pressure wire feedthroughs to be utilized as a high pressure vessel electrical feedthrough to transmit power or signal in and out of the vessel or pressurized container. This can include cryogenic tanks and systems. Additionally, our hermetic wire feedthroughs are designed to operate in applications in hazardous locations, carrying certifications for explosive atmospheres, including the high pressure cable pass through for enhanced functionality.
Designs for Hazardous Locations
DuctorSeal hermetic wire feedthroughs are available as standard and custom options for hazardous locations. We offer UL/cUL Class I Division 1 explosion-proof conduit seals with wires from 24 AWG to 3/0 AWG in various conductor lengths and colors. ATEX and IECEx line bushings are available in NPT and metric threaded configurations through our 57754 series.
Additionally, our team can custom-design a feedthrough to help achieve an explosion-proof rating for your system, analyzer, sensor, or transmitter. Contact us with details on your application to get started.
