Special Report: Hermetic Connectors

Hermetic Applications

Hermetic connectors are designed for use in harsh application environments. The BAE Systems cover photo of the SKYEYE Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is just such an application. Sensitive photographic, sensor and surveillance equipment mounted in the SKYEYE must be able to operate in severe weather conditions, at high altitudes, under extremes of atmospheric pressure and in rapidly changing temperature gradients. Hermetic connector devices interconnecting the SKYEYE's black box equipment are selected for their ability to protect the controlled equipment environment by maintaining an air-tight seal between severe flight conditions and the UAVs sensitive payload.
