Electrical Feedthroughs
BG manufacturers ceramic-to-metal electrical feedthroughs. BG feedthroughs provide a hermetic electrical connection through the walls of a variety of pressure vessels.
Electrical Feedthrough Capabilities:
- Provide superior leakage resistance and are tested with a helium leak tester (standard acceptance leak rate of <1×10-6 cc/sec He).
- Operate at pressures from 0 PSIA to 500 PSIG.
- Have a greater operating temperature than other products… up to 250 °F.
- Are constructed with copper conductors (brass for BG220-1H and BG350B) and brass nuts for maximum electrical current carrying ability and lowest connection losses.
- Are compatible with currently used refrigerants and phenolic oils.
- ATEX certified versions available

3Installation Note: Recommended installation torque for brass nuts should not be exceeded. Electrode threads will be damaged. BG recommends the use of two wrenches when connecting to our feedthroughs. There are two brass nuts on each end that must be tightened against one another.
