Hermetic bulkhead rectangular connector versions with thermocouple contacts for Type T, J, K or E thermocouples are available in standard density d-sub connector versions for 9, 15, 25, 37 and 50 #20 pin arrangements. Supplied with mating connectors and loose crimp thermocouple grade contacts. Please contact our sales engineering for quotes and more details for either single or dual sided DB connector versions.

Connector shell materials are tin plated steel for standard and high density connectors (#20 and #22 AWG contact sizes respectively) and electroless nickel plated aluminum or special order stainless steel materials for micro d-sub connectors (#25 contact sizes). No cadmium or zinc plating.

Online drawing files require the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader version 5.0 or later version software to open to view, print or to download from the Acrobat save button. Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe Web site at www.adobe.com.

Upon your email request, a 3D CAD file of most of our drawing can be emailed to the customer for their design use. These 3D models can be supplied in either SolidWorks, STEP or IGS file formats. Please specify your file format preference if any.

Technical Data
Seal Integrity PAVE-Seal® PAVE-Mate®
PAVE-Optic-SealTM PAVE-Flex®

While all PAVE products will comply with helium leak rating from <10-6 cc/sec to 10-9 cc/sec (air equivalent) depending upon design, PAVE also uses more cost effective air bubble in fluid leak testing typically at 80 psi (5 bar). Special high pressure testing up to 10 k psi (600 bar) is also available.
