CERAMIC COMPONENTS

The 252-page “Ceramaseal Product Catalog” from CeramTec North America Corp. presents an expanded selection of hermetically sealed components, including thermocouples, isolators and viewports, that are built to endure extreme conditions, such as an ultrahigh-vacuum environment, temperatures ranging from cryogenic (4 K) to 450 °C or pressures >25,000 psig. The document specifies temperature, pressure, current and voltage ratings for the components, many of which are suitable for optical and sensing applications. Among the new items are Micro D multipin connectors, designed to meet MIL-DTL-83513 specifications, and high-voltage feedthroughs with mating air side cable assemblies.
