OverviewIn vacuum systems, vacuum electrical power feedthroughs provide a hermetic electrical path from atmosphere to vacuum while preserving cavity integrity. They are used to deliver power for heating, high-voltage supplies and particle-beam processes under high and ultra-high vacuum conditions.
Design core: Sealing, insulation and current carrying capacity- Manufactured using proven ceramic-to-metal brazing to achieve atomic-level hermetic seals suitable for high vacuum and UHV; stable performance during high-temperature bake-out.
- Mechanical and electrical structure based on 304/316L stainless steel flanges with compatibility for CF, KF and ISO interfaces; conductors in oxygen-free copper, copper-nickel alloy or Kovar; optional gold or nickel plating to lower contact resistance; high-purity alumina (Al2O3) insulators for electrical insulation and thermal stability.
- Flexible electrical configurations supporting single, dual and multi-conductor arrays; available in high-current, high-voltage or combined power variants—configurable for hundreds of amperes or tens of kilovolts depending on design.
Core product advantages- Hermetic sealing: Ceramic-to-metal metallurgical bonding eliminates leak paths, preserving vacuum level and process purity.
- Wide customization range: Voltage, current, conductor count, flange type and installation dimensions configurable to system requirements.
- Resistance to harsh environments: Broad operating temperature range, tolerance to particle irradiation, compatible with plasma and corrosive atmospheres.
- Standardized integration: Compliant with international vacuum flange standards for straightforward installation and reduced integration time.
- Low outgassing and long life: Constructed from inorganic materials with minimal gas emission and negligible aging for long-term operation.
Typical application scenarios- PVD/CVD vacuum coating equipment: Power connection for heaters or anode-cathode supplies.
- Vacuum furnaces and heat-treatment systems: Feedthroughs for heating elements and internal power/control modules.
- Electron-beam and ion-beam systems: Deliver high-voltage or high-current power into evacuated chambers for acceleration or deposition.
- Vacuum test and analysis instruments: Multi-channel electrical connections for SEM, mass spectrometers and similar equipment.
