The XAVAC series is part of the Hermetic connector family of feedthroughs for vacuum applications. XAVAC is a larger connector than SAVAC with four retention screws.
XAVAC® Series Connectors are D-Subminiature feedthroughs for SPACE or INDUSTRIAL vacuum applications.
Both sides contain four threaded mounting holes, an o-ring groove and fixed female jackscrews. These redundant features allow either side of the connector to be mounted
toward the vacuum, giving the customer the ultimate in flexibility.
The type of contacts is according to the customer request: with normal density insulators 9, 15, 25, 37, and 50 contacts (AWG20): Male/Female, Male/Male, or Female/Female.
With high density insulators: 15, 26, 44, 62, 78 and 104 contacts (AWG22): Male/Female. With mixed contact combinations(Power, Coaxial, and Signal contacts): Male/Female.
All XAVAC® Series connectors are 100 % leak tested after fabrication.
In addition to the standard options, Positronic can supply XAVAC® connectors as board mount varieties or with flying leads.
XAVAC® series connectors utilize precision machined contacts for strength and durability. The materials and finishes, as well as the technical characteristics of the XAVAC® series connectors conform to MIL-DTL-24308, Goddard and the SPACE-D32 specifications.
