Conax Semiconductor specializes in high quality wire sealing in demanding applications such as Highly Accelerated Stress Testing (HAST) typically done in the semiconductor industry. Cyclical temperature testing is hard on seals, wire insulation and on the wire its self from a corrosion standpoint.

This style feedthrough features thermocouple wire with preformed junctions and twisted into pairs to allow for temperature validation in the X, Y, Z coordinates of the chamber. It also uses Kapton insulation on the wires which stands up to steam and flexing much better than traditional Teflon insulated wires. The gland is rebuildable. After aging, the wires and sealant can be replaced, allowing the metal components of the body to be reused.

Each feedthrough is pressure tested upon initial manufacture, or upon being rebuilt, to insure a leak proof seal. They can be supplied with straight threads (bulk head fitting style) or with NPT threads or flanged connection.
