Portplate Series Custom Hermetic Flange & Plate Assemblies

PotCon connectors require a 2” minimum clearance around the housing for hand access to tighten or loosen connector locking rings. ace seal housings for harness feedthroughs (jam nut mounting) require a 1″ minimum clearance for wrench access to make up the jam nut. Face mount housings require only a 1/2″ clearance around the housing OD for the clamps (be sure to stagger the clamps of adjoining housings).

Yes. Douglas Electrical Components will partner with you during the design process to specific the cables and connectors required to optimize the design. While our products are customized, our lead times are also very competitive with other customized assemblies as well as some standard products by utilizing LEAN manufacturing and maintaining in-house capabilities such as machining.

While aluminum and stainless steel are the most common materials for Portplates, we design and manufacture with dielectric materials such as G10 Garolite.

Yes. While this product line is popular in vacuum chamber and semiconductor manufacturing applications, it is also used in various industrial and OEM applications such as compressor power feedthroughs. Portplates are simply a way to easily mount a hermetic electrical feedthrough.

Yes, our electrical feedthrough will operate at 4K (LHe). Our unique manufacturing and material combination enable us to combat mismatches in material expansion, commonly measured as the coefficient of thermal expansion, or CTE.
