Mounting variants

Mounting variants

There are several alternatives to mount a hermetic sealed connector  on a panel. Besides the glass-seal, the mounting variant also has influence regarding leak rate of the connector or adaptor. Depending on the variant a leak rate between 10^-6 Torrl/sec and 10^-8 Torrl/sec (atm cc/s) can be achieved.

Flange with O-Ring The connector is screwed into panel. The sealing between connector and panel is accomplished by an O-Ring which is located in the flange. Leak rate (typical)  10-6 Torrl/sec (atm cc/s)

Spark plug The connector is screwed into panel. The sealing between connector and panel is accomplished by a metal ring. This ring gets compressed. To make sure the ring is correctly compressed, the use of a torque wrench is recommended. Leak rate (typical)  10-8 Torrl/sec (atm cc/s)

Direct soldering The connector is soldered into panel. There is no additional gasket or metal ring necessary. Recommended soldering temperature is 250°C / 482°F. Leak rate (typical) 10-8 Torrl/sec (atm cc/s)
