Individual signal and power connections are passed through the vacuum wall via hermetic D-type connectors. To avoid mechanical stress on the many glass-to-metal sealed pins, thehermetic feedthroughs are buffered by connector-savers, both internal and external to the chamber. Waterjet cut panels supplied by Holifields provide the cut-outs and the mechanical supports for the numerous connector-savers. The precision of the
cutting process makes for an
accurate, cost-effective and
customised assembly.

Oxford University - NASA
The High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) will undergo Test and Calibration at the University of Oxford in a 2 metre diameter by 4 metre long thermal vacuum chamber located in a Class 1000 cleanroom. Multiple ports accommodate the many vacuum feedthroughs required to route essential services to the space instrument and its test equipment. The photograph shows two of the ports configured for electrical connections which utilise Holifield supplied panels.
