Ceramic to metal Multipin Connector Application:
- Semiconductor processing equipment
- Analytical test and measurement equipment
- Pressure transducers
- Power generation (measurement and control technology)
- Particle accelerators
- Furnaces
- Energy research
All receptacles are made from high-purity, vacuum compatible materials. The insulators are made from high-strength, low-loss alumina ceramics that are metalized using the refractory-metal sintering process. Metals include Kovar®, stainless steel, nickel-iron alloys, cupro-nickel alloys, molybdenum, and Alumel®. The assemblies are brazed together using copper, gold-copper, or silver-copper alloys.
