"Mission-Critical" Hermetic Sealing with 1x10-7 Leak-Rate Performance, Lower Electrical Resistance and Lighter Weight
Hermetically-sealed interconnects used in vacuum or high-altitude applications prevent moisture and other contaminants from damaging sensitive electronic equipment. Glass-to-metal hermetic sealing has been the gold standard in the aerospace and petrochemical industries for decades due to the strength and long-term durability of the materials used. But glass-to-metal seal hermetics come with a big price tag in both weight and electrical resistance.
CODE RED™ is an innovative sealing encapsulant and application process — invented by Glenair — that provides durable hermetic sealing in a lightweight aluminum package. CODE RED™ allows for the use of conventional gold-plated copper alloy contacts, significantly improving electrical performance. CODE RED™ hermetic connectors are available now in Glenair SuperNine® (D38999 Series III type metal and composite), Series 80 Mighty Mouse, M24308 D-Sub, and MIL-DTL-83513 Micro-D; and deliver reliable, life-of-system 1x10-7 max leak-rate hermetic sealing. Special non-magnetic (zero residual magnetism) versions are also available, consult factory.
