| | .jpg) | Ceramaseal connectors are comprised of a hermetically brazed ceramic-to-metal assembly (receptacle) and one or more mating plugs. The receptacle is designed so that the overall stresses are minimized during the complex sealing process, thereby improving overall operating performance.
All receptacles are made from high-purity, vacuum compatible materials. The insulators are high-strength, low-loss alumina ceramics that are metallized using the refractory-metal sintering process. Metals include KovarŽ, stainless steel, nickel-iron alloys, cupro-nickel alloys, molybdenum and AlumelŽ. The assemblies are brazed together using copper, gold-copper or silver-copper alloys.
The standard instrumentation plug is an MS-circular design. For applications where a vacuum plug is required or higher operating temperatures needed, Ceramaseal has replaced the phenolic plug components with TeflonŽ or ceramic inserts.
CeramTec's Ceramaseal Division uses advanced techniques for control of special and critical processes, including 100 percent helium leak testing and x-ray measurements for metallization control. | |

The receptacle is designed so that the overall stresses are minimized during the complex sealing process, thereby improving overall operating performance. 50-Ohm matched impedance connectors feature non-magnetic metals including gold-plated Inconel contacts and 304 stainless steel adapters.
All receptacles are made from high-purity, vacuum compatible materials. The insulators are high-strength, low-loss alumina ceramics that are metallized using the refractory-metal sintering process. The hardware is primarily stainless steel or nickel-iron alloys, but conductor materials may vary according to design. The assemblies are brazed together using copper, gold-copper and silver-copper alloys.

Hardware metals include KovarŽ, stainless steel, nickel, copper, nickel-iron alloys, cupro-nickel alloys and molybdenum. Conductor materials and contacts include ChromelŽ, AlumelŽ, Alloy 405, Alloy 426, Alloy 11, copper, ConstantanŽ and iron. Compensating wires, Alloy 11, copper, Alloy 405 and Alloy 426 are utilized in types C, R and S feedthroughs.
Braze materials include silver, copper, silver-copper and gold-copper alloys. Metallization processes include both refractory-metal and active-metal metallizations, dependent upon size, geometry and performance requirements for the seals.
