Advanced Multiport CalPod Configurations
Configuration: Control Through a TVAC Chamber Wall
Thermal-vacuum testing requires controlling the CalPods inside of a TVAC
chamber using an 85554A CalPod drive extension cable. This cable is cut to the
appropriate length, and the cable conductors soldered to an appropriate TVAC
bulkhead connector to provide DC connections through the TVAC chamber wall.
Alternatively, Pave Technology (www.pavetechnology.com) has an SP37/13-E-
15015-20-DSUB-DSUB connector that is used for TVAC bulkheads. The control
voltages are +/-15 Vdc with 60 mA per cable conductor.
