Hermetically sealed RF connectors Hermetic is greek. It means impenetrable, barred, air and watertight, etc. The heart of a «hermetic» connector is a glass-seal. This is a center contact as well as a metal ring, which are separated and isolated by melted glass. The glass-seal is soldered into the connector body and is sealing the connector internally. Years of experience in development and production, as well as special equipment for soldering and testing the leak rate are reasons why HUBER+SUHNER is a competent and reliable manufacturer of hermetically sealed RF connectors.

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 Mounting variants There are several alternatives to mount a hermetic sealed connector on a panel. Besides the glass-seal, the mounting variant also has influence regarding leak rate of the connector...
