Hermetic Assemblies

Douglas Electrical Components manufactures hermetic feedthroughs for high voltage wire, cable, terminal, and connector applications. Utilizing a proprietary hermetic epoxy material and process, Douglas can seal wires , cables and connectors to 30kV and stud terminals over  20kV in a variety of applications and industries.   Transmitting high voltages can be its own challenge but […]

Cable potting involves encasing conductors in an epoxy, liquid, or gel within an enclosure or feedthrough housing. Douglas Electrical Components employs a proprietary hermetic epoxy to seal wire and cable feedthroughs requiring cable potting. Cable potting is often done in-house by OEM’s or through some Douglas competitors. Differences can arise in the potting encapsulation compound, […]

What is an Electromechanical Assembly? An electromechanical assembly combines components and subassemblies that feature electrical and mechanical design elements to perform a specific function.   For Douglas Electrical Components, we manufacture electrical connectors and feedthroughs that feature both a mechanical interface as well as electrical components to transmit power and/or signal. Our electromechanical assemblies are integrated into larger […]

We’ve shipped our share of standalone hermetic feedthroughs over the years. Increasingly, however, sealed hermetic penetrations leave our plant as a part of a value–added assembly. These turnkey assemblies typically combine our hermetic feedthrough technologies with non-hermetic connectors, printed circuit boards, flex circuits and wire harnesses. Assemblies can also incorporate strain relief, water-blocking overmolds, jacketing, shrink tubing, breakouts, mechanical subassemblies and patch […]
