Existing Hermetic Design Drawings By Type & Number & Size of Wire and/or Pin

Significantly higher pressure tests are available upon request in most PAVE seal designs than the standard 80 psi (5.5 bar) air bubble or vacuum helium leak test shown on many PAVE hermetic seal drawings. There will be No detectable leakage of gases or fluids in any of PAVE products, including those seals with stranded copper conductor wires or shields that feed through the bulkhead. Wires may also be cut shorter with no adverse effect on the cable hermetic seal.

PAVE hermetic seals are any type of insulated, stranded or solid plated copper conductors in any combination or lengths, copper or brass connector pin contacts or glass fiber optic cables of any type, all sealed for low or high pressures or vacuums, helium gas tight, moisture tight bulkhead seals available in unlimited wide range of combinations that can be easily customized for cost effective small or large quantities. Wire connector terminations can also be included for a complete, ready to use hermetically sealed thru-bulkhead wire connector harness.
