          flangeless feed through which is useful in the supplying of                 
          power                                                                       


          to a device through a passage in a wall of a vacuum chamber                 
          such as a semiconductor processing chamber.  Claim 1 is                     
          illustrative:                                                               
               1.   A flangeless feed through for supplying power to a                
          device through a passage in a wall of a vacuum chamber, the                 
          feed through comprising:                                                    
               an insulator ring securely positioned in the passage;                  
               a first threaded insert; and                                           
               a second threaded insert which engages the first threaded              
          insert;                                                                     
               wherein the insulator ring is gripped by the first and                 
          second threaded inserts.
