Why Hermetic Connectors Matter
Hermetic connectors provide sealed electrical interconnections while maintaining reliable electrical performance under extreme environmental conditions. They prevent moisture, gas, and particulate intrusion that can cause corrosion, insulation failure, or signal loss. These connectors are essential in aerospace, medical, defense, automotive, and industrial systems exposed to vibration, pressure changes, and temperature extremes.
MIL-Spec and Material Options
Many applications require MIL-Spec hermetic connectors, including circle connectors, and rectangular connectors. Materials such as titanium, stainless steel, Kovar, and aluminum are selected for strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight performance. Titanium hermetic connectors are especially valuable in aerospace and medical systems where weight reduction and biocompatibility are critical.
Design Flexibility and Electrical Performance
Hermetic connectors can be configured for solder-in or laser-weld installation, high-density pin layouts, EMI shielding, and high-voltage or high-frequency operation. Glass-to-metal and ceramic-to-metal sealing technologies ensure long-term hermeticity even under mechanical shock and repeated thermal cycling.
System Integration and Longevity
Beyond environmental sealing, hermetic connectors support long-term system reliability by maintaining stable contact resistance and alignment. They reduce intermittent faults, minimize maintenance risk, and extend service life in systems where repair access is limited or impossible.
Mission-Critical Applications
Hermetic connectors are widely used in satellites, avionics, implantable medical devices, unmanned systems, and defense electronics.
