Solder mount, weld mount and rear panel O-ring shell styles are available to meet a variety of design requirements.
Materials
Kovar® — an iron nickel alloy — is used in both the shells and contacts, and provides a chemical bond with the glass insulator for maximum hermeticity. Shells are then plated with nickel after the glass insulator is fired to enhance corrosion resistance. Contacts are plated with gold to ensure superior electrical conductivity. Connectors are offered with a minimum of 9 sockets, up to a maximum of 100 sockets — in two, three and four row solder cup and pigtail configurations. Fluorosilicone rubber interfacial seals and O-rings ensure positive sealing with plug connectors and panels. Gold plated Kovar® socket contacts boast superior vibration resistance when used in conjunction with Glenair’s innovative TwistPin contact system in the plug.
