HIVAC ®
HIVAC® Series Connectors are feedthroughs equipped with DSubminiature Adapter Connectors for SPACE or INDUSTRIAL
vacuum applications.
The HIVAC® Connector configuration requires three separate
units to function properly. The center unit is the feedthrough.
This feedthrough requires two adapter units, one for theatmospheric side and one for the vacuum side.
Both sides of the feedthrough contain four threaded mounting
holes and an o-ring groove. These redundant features allow
either side of the connector to be mounted toward the vacuum,
giving the customer the ultimate in flexibility.
The feedthrough has always Female/Female contacts.

The contact type of Adapter Connector is always as male next
to the feedthrough and the other sides are according to theCustomer request, Male/Male or Male/Female for the normal
density, and for the high density it is systematicallyMale/Female.

An Adapter Connector allows several combinations with afeedthrough.
The advantage of this system is that it allows the user theflexibility to purchase a single feedthrough and use it with avariety of adapters.
HIVAC® series connectors utilize precision machined contacts
for strength and durability. The materials and finishes, as wellas the technical characteristics of the HIVAC® seriesconnectors, conform to MIL-DTL-24308, Goddard and SPACED32 specifications.
All HIVAC® Series connectors are 100 % leak tested after
fabrication.

A feedthrough has 5 types of insulators: 37 or 50 contacts fornormal D and 44, 62 and 104 contacts for high D.
