Hermetic connectors are suitable for high-pressure applications that require low leakage rates such as optics, cryogenics, petroleum, space and UAV systems. The connectors are available in weld-able or solder-able bulkhead mounts with 9–65 positions.
Each contact is sealed with a proprietary dispersion strengthened, devitrifying polycrystalline ceramic compound that offers performance above and beyond conventional glass seals.
Due to its non-amorphous crystalline structure, this ceramic is five times more resistant to fracturing than glass. These nano-miniature connectors are capable of achieving helium leak rates of less than 1x10-9 cc/sec Helium at 1 atmosphere of differential pressure. Positions offered are 9 to 65 ways with the 51-way less than 26 mm wide.
