Ceramaseal® products are built to endure extreme conditions, whether it is an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environment, temperatures ranging from cryogenic (4 K) to 450°C, pressures in excess of 25,000 psig, corrosive or caustic environments, while maintaining an unsurpassed level of reliability and performance. All temperature, pressure, current, and voltage ratings are specified for every part in the NEW Ceramaseal® Product Catalog. Request yours today at www2.Ceramtec.com.

There are more than 200 new parts in the new catalog and these new products are focused on connectivity, therefore most new products have mating air and/or vacuum side plugs or cable assemblies. New products include a Micro D (MIL-DTL-83513) product line, an expanded Power Plug product family, high voltage feedthroughs with mating air side cable assemblies and standard high pressure (25k psi) feedthrough solutions.

CeramTec pioneered the science of ceramic-to-metal sealing more than 56 years ago and today still remains the world leader in ceramic-to-metal sealing technology. With the addition of glass-ceramic sealing, CeramTec has added high-density hermetically sealed components (Micro D, Sub D & Circular Connectors) to the line up. Ceramaseal® products include feedthroughs, multipin connectors, coaxial connectors, thermocouples, isolators, viewports, and vacuum hardware. These components are ideally suited to support optical, gas, liquid, power, instrumentation, and sensing applications. All of CeramTec's Ceramaseal® Products are guaranteed to a leak rate < 1 x 10^-10 atm-cc/sec (He).

As always, CeramTec's team of engineers can CUSTOM DESIGN a solution for your demanding application! Whether it is a CVD cluster tool or a linear accelerator R&D program, let CeramTec provide the higher level assembly for you!
