Vacuum Feedthroughs

The Challenge: High-Demand TVAC Environments Require High-Integrity Feedthroughs Space simulation facilities have demanding vacuum system requirements that leave little room for error. Thermal vacuum chamber (TVAC) testing demands power, signal, and data transmission in and out of the system without compromising the space-like conditions within the chamber. These conditions require hermetic conditions for all electrical, […]
