Abstract: An electrical pass-through assembly for traversing a structure includes a sleeve defining a fixed end, a locked end, a passage extending between the fixed end and the locked end, a mating feature disposed on the fixed end, and a locking feature disposed on the locked end. The electrical pass-through assembly also includes a fitting configured to attach the structure. The fitting includes an inner surface defining an opening shaped to receive the fixed end of the sleeve. A corresponding mating feature is disposed along the inner surface of the fitting and engages with the mating feature disposed at the fixed end of the sleeve to prevent relative rotation between the fitting and the sleeve. The electrical pass-through assembly also includes a locking retainer including a corresponding locking feature that securely engages with the locking feature disposed at the locked end of the sleeve.

Abstract: An apparatus includes first and second electrically conductive tubes, first and second electrical isolators, and a nut. The first electrical isolator has a central passageway. The first electrically conductive tube has a flared end disposed around the first electrical isolator. The flared end includes external threads. The second electrically conductive tube has an outer flange. The second electrical isolator is disposed around the second electrically conductive tube and engages the outer flange. The nut is disposed around the second electrically conductive tube and engages the second electrical isolator. The nut includes internal threads corresponding to the external threads of the flared end of the first electrically conductive tube.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods provide an electrically isolating clamp that is suitable for use, among other locations, within a composite wing structure and other fuel environments. According to embodiments described herein, the clamp includes a clamp body and cushion. The clamp body is manufactured from a non-conductive material and includes a strap and a base. The cushion may be manufactured from a different non-conductive material to provide at least two layers of electrical isolation between the tube or other object being secured and a structure. The cushion material allows for axial movement of the tube through the cushion. The cushion is disposed between the strap and the base. Shoulder flanges prevent axial movement of the cushion with respect to the clamp body. The clamp may have a cushion retention mechanism to secure the cushion within the strap prior to installation around the tube.
