The D-sub connector remains an industry standard in the hermetics space for a variety of applications. Douglas Electrical Components manufactures a standard product line of hermetic D-sub connector feedthroughs for a variety of applications to interface with standard MIL-DTL-24308 connectors under vacuum and positive pressure. These feedthroughs create a plug-and-play electrical connection for vacuum systems. With D-sub connectors on both sides of the feedthrough, engineers and system integrators save time and effort, eliminating the need for soldering miniature connector wires or solder cups.
OEM & Custom D-Sub (MIL-DTL 24308) Hermetic Connectors
Combine any number and configuration of D-sub connectors into the mechanical interface of your choice. Douglas will hermetically seal any D-sub connector pin count into a housing; in many cases the D-sub connector is also specified with other connection types, minimizing the number of penetrations into a chamber, panel, or glovebox. Our D-sub connectors are specified to meet MIL-DTL-24308 standards.
Custom designs are available for low profile mounting applications in OEM equipment including MIL/Aero and Semiconductor manufacturing.
D-sub plugs or receptacles can be combined with a variety of interfaces including connectors, wires, cables, and flex circuits. Contact our technical sales engineers to review your requirements in more detail.
Standard Vacuum D-Sub Connectors
Manufactured with an aluminum housing, our hermetic D-sub connector feedthrough line seals with a standard Viton+ O-ring; the housing is designed with O-ring grooves on either side of the housing to be fully reversible and simplify installation. The feedthrough is designed with stainless steel, electroless nickel plated steel, or gold-plated brass shell connectors.
The connectors are pinned straight through the housing, such that Pin 1 on the vacuum connector is fed to Socket 1 on the atmospheric side. Standard leak rate is < 1×10-9 cc He/sec with higher performance available. All standard D-sub pin counts and connectors are available. Our solutions are designed to interface with standard MIL-DTL-24308 connectors.

FAQ
Will Douglas Electrical customize a D-sub connector feedthrough?
Yes. Douglas Electrical Components customizes most of our hermetic connectors and feedthroughs. The process is relatively simple. Partner with a technical sales engineer to define your application, mechanical requirements, and the types of interconnects, whether wire, cable, fiber, connectors, or terminals. Our team will develop a design that fits the application requirements. Custom D-sub feedthroughs are commonly customized, whereas the reversible feedthrough is designed for the convenience of a standard package.
How do I install the D-sub feedthrough?
Refer to the datasheet for dimensional data as well as the panel cutout guidelines. The part number table will refer you to the correct D-sub housing size to select your panel cutout.
What are the standard materials offered?
Stainless steel and aluminum are the standard materials available for the housing. Contact the factory for more options. We customize hermetic D-subs for various applications and industries requiring specialty metals as well as certain plastics for custom applications.
Do you have a Micro-D version of this connector?
Yes, here is the link to the Micro-D hermetic connector.
