Why Choose Our Hermetic Feedthrough Solutions?

Unmatched Environmental Protection

Our hermetic feedthrough connectors provide exceptional sealing with leak rates below 1 x 10⁻⁹ ccHe/sec and a temperature range of -65°C to 260°C, ensuring reliable protection and stability in extreme conditions.

Superior Electrical Performance

Electrical performance matters in high-frequency applications. Our connectors deliver:

  • Low VSWR of 1.4:1 typical at 40GHz
  • Minimal insertion loss at .09 √f (GHz)
  • 50-ohm nominal impedance matching
  • Excellent contact resistance specifications

The low-loss glass insulation creates precisely matched impedance seals that minimize signal degradation. This design approach ensures you maintain signal quality throughout your system.

Advanced Materials and Construction
