Vitreous Glass Hermetic Seal Series S eries 806 hermetic receptacles feature 304L stainless steel shells and glass-to-metal seals. Rated for -65°C to +200°C temperature range. Micro miniature Series 806 connectors save size and weight compared to legacy aerospace-grade hermetic connectors. These high- performance, parylene compatible connectors are suitable for pressurized bulkhead applications subject to vibration, moisture, and temperature extremes. Available receptacle shell styles include square-flange, jam-nut, and weld mount. All Series 806 hermetic connectors are 100% tested prior to shipment. A helium leak test is performed to certify the hermetic seal. This test is conducted by inducing 1 ATM of vacuum on one side of the connector, while Helium gas is released on the other side, and a mass spectrometer “counts” the number of helium molecules that penetrate the connector seal. Series 806 hermetic connectors are designed specifically for commercial and military aircraft zones such as engine compartments—areas typically exposed to fuel, oil, and changes in elevation. Sensitive electronic equipment in these zones must be protected from the effects of caustic chemicals and moisture ingress. Other locations such as the aircraft fuselage require hermetic connectors to maintain passenger cabin pressure while allowing for data transmission in and through separated compartments of the aircraft.
VITREOUS GLASS TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES Superior pressure resistance, up to 32,000+ PSI capable Higher resistance to extreme operating temperatures—up to 260° C available Superior mechanical strength No material breakdown or aging over time Helium leak rate <1X10 -7 cc/ sec to 1X10 -10 Vertically-integrated manufacturing process: all critical components and sub- assemblies manufactured in-house
