Vacuum Compatible Connectors
We can provide vacuum compatible connectors (shown) on request. Please contact an application engineer for more details.
Note: our vacuum devices are shipped with flying leads, which can be crimped, tied, or soldered together to create a daisy-chain, with only four feedthrough wires (2 power, 2 data) required for multi-axis motion in a vacuum chamber.
