Omega Products PFT2CPL-2E Installation Manual

General Description

Penetrating a pressure barrier, vacuum chamber, or
bulkhead with electrical conductors while maintaining a
tight pressure seal can be time-consuming and costly.
OMEGA

®

feedthroughs offer the ideal solution; they
incorporate both the wire and body as one pre-assembled
hermetic unit. There is no need to fasten pins to a
conventional-type connector or solder conductors to a
glass-to-metal seal.

The body is molded from a high-temperature-strength
epoxy resin in either an O-ring, NPT, or commercial mil spec
design to facilitate installation. Generally, under harsh
environmental conditions or extreme physical abuse, the
feedthrough can be encased in a standard bushing or metal
housing. Each unit is inspected and tested for reliability.
