Hermetic Connectors, Electrical Wire Feedthroughs & Fiber Optic Feedthroughs for Vacuum & Pressure Seals
All PAVE hermetic connectors are both pressure and vacuum rated in either pressure direction for proven highly reliable hermetic seal long-term lifetime use. ISO 9001 quality system. Also, many of our hermetic seal wire or pin connectors are able to be rated and tested to much higher pressures or significantly lower vacuum helium leak rates as low as 4 x 10^-10 cc/sec if an o-ring face seal type design, than what may be shown on the drawings. Copper alloy wires or pins are sealed for the best ampacity.
Turn to PAVE Technology for high-quality, dependable electrical feedthroughs. As an industry leader in the manufacturing of electrical wire and hermetic feedthrough products, we’ve got the equipment you need.

Hermetic electrical feedthrough wire seals for Pressure And Vacuum Electronics from 1 to +500 wires, #4 AWG to #30 AWG, any type insulation including PTFE, ETFE, PVC and others for low or high pressures or vacuums, gas-tight, moisture-proof, sealed including through the conductor or insulation.
PAVE-Mate® I
PAVE-Mate® I hermetically sealed connectors have dual-sided electrical disconnecting plugs on BOTH SIDES as double-sided or double-ended connectors with opposite gender contacts from each side from 2 – 128 contacts, #4 AWG – #22 AWG, USB, RJ45 Cat 5e Cat 6 Ethernet and firewire versions also with IP68 option.
In Stock Hermetic Seals
For Low and High Pressure and Vacuum hermetically sealing fluids or gases. Most of our circular hermetic seals can be leak tested and certified upon request for significantly higher pressures than a typical 80 psi (5 bar) air bubble test or vacuum helium leak test shown on drawings. Lower temperature ranges as low as -200C may also be possible.
Hermetic DB Connectors
D-Sub, Rectangular & Header Hermetic Connectors – Standard density #20 AWG contacts, high-density #22 AWG, micro d #25 AWG & nano d-subminiature DB hermetic connectors, hermetic header connectors and other rectangular style connectors.
