Subminiature-C

<h2>Subminiature-C (Sub-C, Type-C) - Ultrahigh (UHV), High Vacuum (HV), In-Vacuum</h2><p>Accu-Glass Products <strong>Subminiature-C</strong>&nbsp;multi-pin <a href="/what-hermetic-feedthrough">hermetic feedthroughs</a> (also known as <strong>Sub-C</strong> or<strong> Type-C</strong>)&nbsp;are designed for applications where space is limited, or where Subminiature-D (Sub D)&nbsp;connections will not fit. &nbsp;Its compact design allows installation into a 1.33 inch CF metal seal and ISO-NW16KF elastomer seal vacuum flanges.</p><p>Nine gold-plated pins are arranged in a straight through pin-to-pin design and are hermetically sealed and electrically insulated in a stainless steel shell using the latest in glass-ceramic bonding technology.</p><p>Air and vacuum side connectors are fitted with a captured stainless steel socket-head screw providing a means of securely locking connectors to a mating feedthrough. On the vacuum side, Kapton<font size="2">^®</font> insulated cable assemblies fitted with PEEK connectors are available to meet the rigorous demands of <strong>(UHV)</strong> <strong>ultrahigh vacuum </strong>as well as<strong> (HV) High Vacuum </strong>environments.&nbsp; <strong>In-vacuum</strong> connector screws are vented where required and the feedthrough's threaded-boss doubles as a connection polarizing key. Air to vacuum pin position is identified with a permanent surface mark, which clearly locates pin assignments. Subminiature-C feedthroughs and cables are sold individually or as kits, where each kit contains a feedthrough and both vacuum and air side cable assemblies.</p><table style="width:100%;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" dir="ltr" summary="Subminiature-C Feedthrough Specifications"><caption>Subminiature-C Feedthrough Specifications</caption><thead><tr><th style="background-color:rgb(221, 221, 221);text-align:left;" scope="col"><strong>Electrical</strong></th><th style="background-color:rgb(221, 221, 221);" scope="col">&nbsp;</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><ul><li>Voltage, Maximum</li><li>Current, Per Pin Maximum @ 20ºC</li></ul></td><td style="text-align:right;"><br>500 VDC<br>5&nbsp;Amps*</td></tr><tr><td><p><span style="font-size:10px;">*&nbsp; For proper heat dissipation, a maximum of 20% of the pins on a feedthrough may carry the maximum pin current at any given time.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">* ​​​​​​Electrical ratings are maximum test values, with feedthrough’s vacuum side at ≤ 1x10^-4Torr.
