Hermetic Seal has more than 60 years of experience developing and designing custom hermetic connectors for Space Applications. With deep space exploration and commercial flights in the headlines around the world, we strive to be at the forefront of how we utilize space technology in the years ahead.
As space beyond the Earth’s atmosphere becomes more accessible to businesses around the world, the increasing commercialization of space and ever-moving boundaries of what’s possible are driving the expansion and development of future technology.
Decades of experience at Hermetic Seal have allowed us to develop a deep understanding of the unique challenges that we face in this extreme environment. The products we develop and manufacture for space are and need to be of the highest quality, designed to be utilized in fracture-critical applications.
Hermetic Seal has demonstrated the ability to design and develop complete interconnect solutions that solve the most technically challenging requirements for space applications that meet the following space-grade connector qualifications:
- Space X qualified on Connector and High Pressure / Temperature Headers
- qualified to supply Space Grade Connectors since our initial Qualification with Loral (now L-3) to the SSQ “Space Station Qualification” document
- QPL38999 utilized for space grade by hard vacuuming for 24 hours, eliminating volatiles from the connector
- Vacuum furnaces up to 1343°C at 5x10-6 torr vacuum for special processes
Hermetic Seal has the proven capability to provide diverse solutions for this challenging sector. We continue to supply interconnect solutions that have been and are still being used in a variety of fracture-critical applications including:
- Connectors for all major rockets
- Electronic and optical packages and for satellites
- Upgraded Environmental Lite Support System, connectors and headers to all sections of the International Space Station
- Hermetic Seals on the original Mars Rover
- Connectors used in space suits
- Artemis Moon to the Constellation Project
