Hybrid Vacuum Feedthroughs: Integrated Optical & Electrical Solutions

Streamline Your Vacuum Chamber Interfaces

Our Hybrid Vacuum Feedthroughs are the ideal solution for complex systems requiring both optical fiber and electrical signal transmission through a single port. By consolidating multiple feedthroughs into a single flange, you save valuable chamber space while reducing the risk of potential leak points.

Whether you are working in Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) or high-pressure environments, these hybrid assemblies provide a robust, hermetically sealed interface for seamless data and power delivery.


Versatile Configuration Options

We offer complete flexibility in design, allowing you to mix and match optical and electrical channels to suit your specific project needs:

1. Optical Integration

  • Fiber Types: Compatible with Single-Mode (SM), Multi-Mode (MM), Polarization-Maintaining (PM), and Plastic Optical Fiber (POF).

  • Interface Styles: Available with pigtail (fiber leads) or adapter (plug-and-play) interfaces.

2. Electrical Integration

  • Connector Types: Choose from SUB-D, Micro-D, SMA, or BNC interfaces.

  • Versatility: Designed for reliable transmission of both low-level electronic signals and high-current power.


Key Technical Advantages

  • Ultra-Low Leak Rates: Helium leak-tested down to 10-10 to 10-12 mbar·L/s, ensuring UHV integrity.

  • Broad Compatibility: Integrated into standard CF, KF, and ISO-K flanges, or fully bespoke custom housings.

  • Extreme Performance: Engineered to maintain a hermetic seal across wide temperature ranges.

  • High-Density Design: Maximises port efficiency by combining multiple signal types in one flange.


Leading Applications

Our hybrid solutions are trusted across various high-tech sectors:

  • Photonics: Seamless integration of lasers and detectors.

  • Semiconductor Manufacturing: Signal and control for advanced vacuum tools.

  • UHV Research: Providing comprehensive optical and electrical access for laboratory experiments.

  • Aerospace & Defence: Ideal for Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) chamber testing.

  • Medical R&D: Vacuum-based diagnostic device testing and development.

  • Fiber Sensing: Deploying optical sensors within vacuum-sealed environments.
