Patent number: 10749324Abstract: A feedthrough for feeding signals through a panel having opposite sides includes first and second parts. The first part can include a first body configured to be disposed in a first portion of an opening in a panel, a first lumen disposed within the first body, and a first engagement area comprising a first contact area. The second part can include a second body configured to be disposed in a second portion of the opening in the panel, a second lumen disposed within the second body, and a second engagement area configured to engage the first contact area, wherein engaging the first contact area with the second engagement area causes deformation of the first part, the second part, or both to hold the first part and the second part within the opening such that the first lumen and the second lumen are disposed generally concentrically with each other. Corresponding methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Eric M. Rehder, Dale H. Waterman, John Steven Frost, John F. Suarez, Kristina I. Kassem, Jonah C. Huffman
