Multi-port hermetic assemblies accommodate any feedthrough configuration, with time and troubleshooting minimized.
Pioneered by Douglas Electrical Components, Portplate systems are fully assembled and pre-tested multi-port, custom hermetic feedthrough systems for pressure and vacuum applications. Customize the mechanical interface and mix and match electrical connection types to create a single, hermetic assembly. Portplates can be provided with or without hermetically sealed connectors and are shipped as ready-to-install assemblies.
Portplates are available in various mechanical interfaces to match your geometric and sealing requirements for both power and signal applications operating under vacuum and positive pressures. Whether we utilize our in-house machining or partner for customer-supplied components, Douglas Electrical will work to build a cost-effective, hermetic system that reduces cost and leak paths with a single plate. The bulkhead interface can be a variety of fittings including flanges, threaded adapters, and O-ring assemblies. Multiple feedthroughs on a single plate can minimize time and costs associated with troubleshooting and testing. Portplate assemblies are available in sizes ranging from 6 to 48 inches in diameter and offer full strain relief. We also offer vacuum outgassing bake-out for components or entire units.
