Souriau's Hermetic 38999 Connectors Receive QPL Certification
Souriau's Hermetic 38999 Connectors: Ensuring Airtight Reliability in Demanding Aerospace Applications
Eaton Souriau takes connector reliability to new heights with its range of hermetic 38999 connectors. These QPL-certified connectors deliver exceptional performance and unwavering protection for critical aerospace applications.
Unparalleled Versatility and Configurability:
- Intermateable and interchangeable: Seamlessly integrate with standard MIL-DTL-38999 connectors, ensuring compatibility within existing systems.
- Flexible mounting options: Choose from four mounting methods (screw, jam nut, weld, or solder) to suit diverse application requirements.
- Extensive range of configurations: Select from 45 qualified layouts covering a wide array of configurations,with contact counts ranging from 3 to 128 and wire sizes from 22 to 8 AWG.
Stringent Quality Control for Uncompromising Performance:
- Rigorous helium leak testing: Souriau's hermetic receptacles undergo rigorous quality control procedures,including helium leak testing, to guarantee leak rates below 10-7 atm.cm3/s. This ensures complete protection against gas or fluid ingress.
Ideal for Safety-Critical Aerospace Environments:
- Protecting sensitive electronics: Hermetic 8D connectors are the perfect choice for applications where airtight seals are paramount to safeguarding electronics from environmental hazards.
- Proven reliability for critical components: These connectors are trusted in a wide range of safety-critical aerospace components, such as pressure, temperature, speed, and vibration sensors, landing gear actuators, and flight control systems. Their reliable operation guarantees the integrity and functionality of these crucial systems.
Superior Glass-to-Metal Sealing for Unmatched Hermeticity:
- Glass bead technology: Souriau's hermetic connectors utilize glass beads to achieve superior hermetic seals,exceeding the stringent requirements of some applications where electrical connectors must not compromise the seal integrity.
- Multiple connection options: In addition to conventional screw or nut connections, these connectors can be directly soldered or welded to customer interfaces for seamless integration.
Unparalleled Internal Sealing Mechanism:
- Glass insulator instead of plastic: Unlike standard connectors that use plastic insulators, Souriau's hermetic receptacles feature a glass insulator for the internal hermetic seal between contacts and shell.
- Sintered pad and controlled heating/cooling cycles: A sintered pad matching the shell size and contact layout is inserted and fused with the glass at high temperatures (1000°C) in a furnace. Precise heating and cooling cycles with stabilization periods ensure optimal compression of the shell and glass against the contacts, resulting in a hermetic assembly upon cooling.
The QPL Advantage: Performance, Quality, and Simplified Ordering:
- QPL certification by the DLA: Souriau's hermetic 38999 connectors boast QPL certification from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), a neutral agency within the US Department of Defense. This certification signifies their suitability for demanding applications with stringent requirements.
- Globally recognized marking and listing: QPL certification allows these connectors to be marked and listed according to an internationally recognized system, simplifying procurement across various qualified interconnect manufacturers.
- Simplified ordering process: Customers accustomed to working with Souriau's hermetic 38999 connectors can continue using the same familiar part numbers, eliminating the need for changes during the ordering process.
