Cross RF 20-804-02HLomita, CA, May 4, 2011 - The heart of a "hermetic“ connector is a glass-seal. This is a center contact as well as a metal ring that are separated and isolated by melted glass. The glass-seal is soldered into connector body and is sealing the connector internally.

Vacuum leak rate 1x10-8 Pa.cm3/s - Years of experience in development and  production, we build custom design connectors and feedthrus for use in military, space, and commercial applications where environmental conditions require an extremely rugged and reliable hermetically sealed RF-connectors.
Application: Hermetically sealed connectors are needed where ingress or loss of liquid, air or gas for various reasons is not acceptable or has to be avoided by all means.

Examples:
  • Vacuum processing equipment
  • Coaxial feed-throughs on applications in liquids. (i.e. fluid level measurement in tanks)
  • Coaxial feed-throughs in containers with overpressure or vacuum
