Sub-D Connectors
Sub-D Connectors in this section are sold as the most basic components. The female cable connectors mate directly onto the vacuum-side of subminiature-D UHV feedthroughs, HV feedthroughs, HV Bulkhead-D feedthroughs, or with subminiature-D UHV ribbon cables.
Sub-D Connectors and Strain Reliefs are made from either PEEK (polyetheretherketone) or Macor Ceramic and do not include contacts. Contacts must be purchased separately.
UHV Vacuum Strain Reliefs are made from either PEEK (polyetheretherketone) or Stainless Steel.
PEEK Sub-D Connector Specifications
- Material: Polyetheretherketone Polymer

- UHV rated 1x10-10 Torr
Macor Connector Specifications
- Material: Macor Ceramic
- Sub-D 9 to 50-pin interface

Standard Contacts are made of a copper alloy and gold plated. The contacts listed below are intended for use with ultrahigh vacuum PEEK connectors listed on this page.
Gender Adapters are offered for use with Accu-Glass Products subminiature-D feedthroughs with male pins on both sides, to correct pin numbering to the standard subminiature-D configuration. (Pin 1 reverses position from vacuum side to air side due to the male to male configuration.) Ultrahigh vacuum gender adapters are made of UHV compatible PEEK material. Contacts ARE included with the gender adapters.
Panel Mount PEEK connectors are wider than our standard PEEK connectors and are designed with a 4-40 mounting hole on each end (ears) to facilitate easy mounting into panels and bulkheads.
