Coaxial, EMI Shielded

The default 80 psi air bubble or vacuum helium leak test shown on most drawings can be increased to much higher pressures upon request for almost all designs along with leak testing with either N2 or helium. Check with PAVE sales engineering for actual maximum or desired pressure test ratings or helium leak test rates for a particular design. PAVE-Seals seal in either pressure or vacuum direction, though pressure ratings will vary by pressure direction for high pressures.

Coaxial, EMI Shielded

Most PAVE hermetic seals are bi-directional seals for vacuum or pressure.

Versions available include BNC, SMA, SHV, MHV, N and Triaxial with floating or grounded shields for pressure or vacuum uses. In addition, any type of coaxial or shielded cables can be hermetically sealed in almost any combination or length. Multi-pin coaxial PAVE-Mate connectors are also available up to 29 shielded contacts.

PAVE coaxial connectors are limited from to under 2 GHz maximum frequencies, as significant impedance mis-match or reflection is likely above 2 GHz. Typical impedance control is +-10% of the nominal impedance value for the type connector selected unless a non-constant impedance connector type. Any special electrical requirements such as VSWR, insertion loss, RF leakage, TDR testing or tight impedance control should be first discussed with a PAVE sales engineer before ordering. See also our FAQ #31 for electrical testing results of some of our coaxial seals.
