Permanent Bulkhead Feedthrough

Aerospace, Defense, Energy

Greene Tweed offers a series of FC-DRY™ HP PBF (permanent bulkhead feedthroughs) and ST-DRY™ HP PBF in standard, short, and right-angle configurations to provide optimum feedthrough choices for a variety of applications. The FC-DRY™ HP hermetic, self-sealed PBF uses a threaded coupling while the ST-DRY™ HP hermetic, self-sealed PBF connectors feature a bayonet twistlock (j-slot) for durable connections and exceptional performance. The design is based on the hermetic joining of an internal light conduit to zirconia ferrules, ensuring precision alignment to cable connectors. Light loss and back reflection are below 0.5 dB per connector. PBFs have been internally tested to withstand pressure up to 5000 psi. All FC-DRY™ HP PBFs and ST-DRY™ HP PBFs are made from 316 series stainless steel with precision-machined zirconia ferrules. Once installed, the PBFs are hermetically sealed with or without connections. Connection and disconnection can be made without degradation of seal integrity.

Features & Benefits

  • Universal threaded coupling (FC)
  • Universal bayonet twist-lock (J-slot) connection (ST)
  • Works with single-mode and multi-mode fibers
  • PBF configurations available in FC-to-FC, ST-to-ST, FC-to-ST, and ST-to-FC

Environmentally Sealed

  • 100% leak tested
  • No signal degradation
  • Hermeticity seal meets or exceeds 1E-7 cc/sec helium leak rate at 1 atm differential pressure
  • Permanent feedthrough is hermetically sealed with or without connectors
  • Effective sealing action eliminates damage from moisture or particulate
  • Tested up to 500 mate/de-mate cycles

Temperature- and Humidity-Resistant

  • Clarity of signal
  • Tested from -55°C to 85°C (-67°F to 185°F) and subjected to stringent heat and humidity, with a maximum insertion loss of 0.5 dB

Waterproof

  • Sealed up to 5000 psi in both mated and unmated conditions

Specifications

  • Ferrules and alignment sleeves are precision-machined zirconia
  • 316 stainless steel construction (ruggedized)
  • Typical light loss is less than 1.0 dB (0.5 dB per connection)
