A standard radio frequency coaxial connector is modified so that a plastic insulating sleeve can be mounted in the wall of a vacuum chamber. This eliminates ground loops and interference from cable connections.
Soldering and welding techniques are used to connect a coaxial cable to a printed circuit board. This device aids reliability control of equipment as standard connectors are bulky and heavy.
A connector that will serve as a seal for fluids at cryogenic temperatures and in high vacuums was constructed by installing a metal disk between two sets of mating serrations to form two sealing surfaces. Compression on both sealing surfaces is ensured by spring action of the disk.
Feed-through connector with sealing action augmented by any temperature increase can be used through the wall of a vacuum device. It retains vacuum integrity through successive cycles of high temperature.
Extremely fine finished surfaces as mating parts for sealing in fluid connectors and statistical analysis of interface leakage
Portable, compact tool quickly and cleanly removes brazed connectors from system tubes. The tool uses an induction coil to melt the braze and a compression spring to automatically separate the connection. An inert gas is force-fed about the heated area to prevent oxidation of the tube.
