HAST Feedthrough

Conax 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 nickel plated copper wire to minimize corrosion of the wires. 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.
