Ceramic to Metal Seals

Metalized ceramic components are brazed utilizing Silver (Ag), Copper/Silver (Cu/Ag), and Copper/Silver/Indium (Cu/Ag/In) to metal lead frames, tabs and bases. These robust products are ideal for use in high reliability applications in the military, medical, aerospace, automotive and commercial industries. The design of these Ceramic to Metal Seals can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements.
