Contacts
- Used to connect conductors for instrumentation, thermocouples and power in high-temperature vacuum systems, inert atmospheres or in air
- Operational to as high as 400° C
- Thermocouple contacts use thermocouple materials to minimize the induced error from dissimilar materials
- Can be used as direct replacement for the contacts in most standard MIL-C-5015 plugs
Ceramic spacers
- Manufactured from high-alumina ceramics
- For use in UHV environments, inert atmospheres or air
- Can be subjected to the high temperatures associated with bakeout cycles
- Can be used in excess of 800°C, but are limited by thermal expansion differences of conductors
- Will accommodate up to 35 conductors while maintaining separation required to withstand instrumentation voltages
Ceramic standoffs
- Manufactured from high-vacuum grade non-porous ceramic
- 300 series stainless steel washers and 400 series stainless steel bolts provided
- Temperature ratings as high as 400°C
- Can be used to support cables, plates or samples at elevated voltages within a vacuum or pressure system
- Voltages to 40 kV in vacuum, 16 kV in air
ISO-NW flange
- Vacuum rating up to 10-9 torr, after sustained use up to 150°C (repeated bakeout to 200°C can cause deterioration of o-rings and require periodic replacement)
- Create a vacuum seal by closing an aluminum clamp to compress a Viton o-ring on a centering ring between mating flanges
ConFlat flange
- Vacuum rating up to 10-10 torr or better, even after repeated cycling from -196°C to 450°C
- Create a reliable seal by compressing a flat copper gasket between the seal surfaces of two compatible flanges
- Can also be used with an o-ring seal
Plugs
- Suitable for high voltage (up to 20 kV) and extended temperature range (up to 260°C)
- All instrumentation and thermocouple plugs can be purchased separately
Vacuum flanges
- Manufactured to meet industry standards
- Made from stainless steel specially processed to eliminate microscopic leak paths
