This contract focusses on the Feedthrough Connectors (including related cabling) of the overall Ex-Vessel Electrical Services. The feedthrough connector assemblies are complete electrical harnesses originating in bulkheads with groups of custom or COTS bulkhead connectors (circular or D-type) and generally terminated several meters away with cable termination crimps. The harnesses may include one or multiple cable sub-assemblies, with halogen free high temperature insulation such as polyimide, and overall layers of mechanical, fire, dust and electrical screening.
The ITER Organization needs specialist engineering services and supply in order to successfully support the final design of these connector assemblies by executing and documenting prototyping and testing activities; and subsequently, preparing and performing the manufacturing on time and to high levels of quality
