Bulkhead Adapter
Bulkhead adapters should be filled to a minimum of 1/16” below the top of the adapter, as shown. Potting flush
with end of adapter is acceptable. Care must be exercised so that the potting compound does not contaminate the
bulkhead threads, or spill onto the surfaces of the receptacle flange.
Hermetic Version
Figure Z
Hermetic receptacle has an integral potting adapter, and should be filled to a minimum of 1/16” below the top of
the adapter. Care must be exercised so that the potting compound does not contaminate the solder cups of solder
style contacts.
In preparation for potting, the receptacle is to be mated to its corresponding plug, so that all contacts are mated
and in their optimal post-potted position. During the potting process, the receptacle connector should be rigidly
fixtured in a vertical position, by its flange, as shown. This fixture must be capable of holding the mated
connector pair in that position for a minimum of 12 hours at room temperature. The exiting conductor/cable
should be fixtured inline and above the connector pair, during the entire 12 hour set time, without disturbance.
Mixing/Potting Instructions
1.
The potting compound is pre-measured in a two section Quik-Pak style package.
This packaging consists of a single plastic bag that is compartmentalized into two
chambers, each containing one part of the two part compound. The segregating
device is a called a burst seal, and is a weaker seal than the seal on the perimeter of
the package.
2.
Lay the Quik-Pak down on a table. Carefully roll the pouch to force the material on
the side being rolled so the material is forced toward the center of the Quik-Pak.
3.
Squeeze the compartment being rolled so that the burst seal opens and allows the
material to flow into, and combine with the material in the other compartment.
4.
Mix the entire contents of the bag, by alternately squeezing the bags contents, and
working the bag across the edge of a table, to fully move the entire contents of the
bag, back and forth, between chambers. Work the material in this manner,
constantly, for a minimum of 40 to 50 times. This should take about 2 minutes.
5.
If you see striations, or non-uniform color throughout the Quik-Pak, mix an
additional 10-15 times.
6.
Once mixed, squeeze all the contents over to one corner of the bag.
7.
Squeeze the material away from the corner to allow making a 3/16” pouring spout by
snipping off the bags corner. Epoxy must be poured within 10 minutes of mixing.
8.
To minimize air entrapment, slowly pour the compound into the back end of the bulkhead
adapter, to a level shown in Figure Z.
9.
Avoid getting epoxy onto the sides of the adapter, paying particular attention to the threaded
area. Epoxy in the threads will impede assembly with the bulkhead.
10.
Set the bag containing the remaining compound aside, so that it may cure. After cure,
the bag may be disposed of safely, along with common consumer refuse. CAUTION:
As the remaining compound cures, the bag will become warm.
** WARNING: The receptacles shall only be used where the temperature, at the point
of entry in service, on the associated enclosure is between
-40°C and +83.5°C, (where -40°C≤Ta≤+40°C)
-40°C TO +98.5°C (where -40°C≤Ta≤+55°C)
** Hermetic version ambient temperature range is:
-40°C≤Ta≤+85°C
