May 5, 2009--Douglas Electrical Components' PotCon line of hermetic feed-throughs incorporate standard connectors and/or wire harnesses in a single, fully-sealed housing. The PotCon product family features disconnectable circuits at the pressure bulkhead or vacuum port plate, designed for simplified mating and unmating.

PotCon feed-throughs are most often used in space simulation, semiconductor manufacturing, and glovebox applications. The company manufactures more than 1,000 different varieties for vacuum, pressure, and environmental containment. These feed-throughs are capable of the standard pin-to-pin or socket-to-socket configurations, but also offer a proprietary pin-to-socket design that allows for simplified bench-top testing. A connector-to-wire configuration is available in addition to standard connector-to-connector and connector-to-solder cup designs.

PotCon feed-throughs may be specified and sealed to the housing for reliable mounting. The sealing technology, says Douglas, allows customers to specify virtually any connector from any manufacturer and have it sealed in either a custom or standard fitting of their choosing. Pre-tested, vacuum outgassed and ready to install, PotCon solutions are designed to seal a variety of connectors, including MIL-C series, circular plastic, D-sub (including standard density and micro-D), coaxial, waterproof, thermocouple, high-current and high-voltage.
