| | Jul 14, 2004 — New Lebanon, NY, July 14, 2004 – CeramTec North America's Ceramaseal Division, the world leader in the manufacturing of hermetically sealed electrical & optical components, has launched a NEW line of in-vacuum ribbon cable assemblies. This product extension complements our current hermetic Sub D Type (MIL-C-24308) instrumentation connector product offering and allows us to offer more value to our customers with the "Complete Connection Solution."
Ribbon cable configurations include 9, 15, 25 or 50 conductor assemblies. Each of the Kapton® wrapped stranded (19 x 0.0063) 22 AWG silver plated copper conductors are woven with a PEEK (polyetheretherketone) monofilament in order to achieve the flat ribbon cable form. The multi-stranded wrapped cable offers the most flexible solution and has a temperature range up to 200° C. All ribbon cable assembly materials are ultra-high vacuum (UHV) compatible.
These in-vacuum ribbon cable assemblies are offered as a “built to order” part number to offer the customer the greatest flexibility. Therefore, the customer specifies the cable, the length of the cable, and the termination for each end of the cable. CeramTec can then manufacture the custom cable assembly to the specifications that your application requires. Available terminations include cable only (no termination), gold plated female/socket push on contacts, gold plated male/pin crimp contacts, female PEEK plug, or a male PEEK plug. For more information or to order these parts online go to www.ceramaseal.com.
