Electronic Packaging
In today’s world, microelectronic components operate under extreme conditions where factors like moisture, heat, and cold can pose significant risks to sensitive electronic devices. Amironic specializes in providing high-quality hermetically sealed enclosures using Glass-to-Metal Sealing technology, ensuring maximum durability and protection for electronic components. Our company offers a wide range of solutions, including Kovar packages, TO packages, relays, headers, feedthroughs, and precision-machined enclosures. With over 100 years of combined experience in our management team, we deliver industry-leading products alongside exceptional customer service.
What Are Glass-to-Metal Seals?
Great question! Not many outside the industry are familiar with this technology. Simply put, a Glass-to-Metal Seal (GTMS) is a fusion of glass and metal, achieved by firing them together in a furnace. Most of our seals feature a metal pin that runs through the glass. Once our product reaches customers, they attach their electronic components to the end of the metal pin. Electrical current passes through the pin, while the hermetic glass seal prevents any moisture, gases, or contaminants from infiltrating and damaging the electronic components. This ensures long-lasting reliability even in the most demanding environments.
Advanced Microelectronics Solutions
Relay Header Base
Hermetic relay headers serve as essential components in electrical switches that require a sealed environment. Made from a combination of metal and glass, they provide high electrical insulation and mechanical durability. These are widely used in military applications, aerospace systems, and industrial electronics where signal integrity and protection are critical. Additionally, they play a crucial role in electronic warfare systems, missile control units, and secure communication networks.
Machined Kovar Packages
Kovar packages are designed with a unique metal alloy that matches the thermal expansion properties of glass, ensuring exceptional structural stability. These packages are extensively used in medical electronics, RF applications, and critical sectors such as satellite communications and high-precision laser equipment. In the defense sector, they provide solutions for radar systems, military-grade satellites, and advanced optical sensors.
Single Pin/Feed-Through Terminals
These components enable the transmission of electrical signals through hermetically sealed walls while maintaining complete insulation. They are commonly used in sensors, amplifiers, and aerospace applications, where a reliable interface between different sections of an electronic system is essential. In the military domain, these terminals are integrated into electronic defense systems and guided weaponry.
Sight Glasses
Sight glasses consist of optical-grade glass fused with metal to ensure absolute hermeticity. They provide visual inspection capabilities for components inside sealed enclosures, which is vital in space technology, power plants, and critical industrial environments. In military applications, sight glasses are essential for advanced optical surveillance systems, tracking devices, and night vision technologies.
Sensors/TO Packages
These enclosures are ideal for housing precision sensors, ensuring high hermeticity. Common applications include medical sensors, optical detectors, and advanced wireless communication devices. TO packages offer a reliable solution for laser diodes, transistors, and RF amplifiers. In defense, they are deployed in ground-based and satellite-secured communication networks.
Dual In-Line Package (DIP) Header
DIP headers provide a reliable and durable interconnection solution for integrated circuits. Offering high insulation and long-term durability, they are widely used in military electronics, medical equipment, and industrial control systems. They are critical in flight control systems, smart weapon technology, and mission-critical communication devices.
Solid Side Walls and Flat Packs
These compact and mechanically robust packages are specifically designed for high-reliability applications. They are extensively used in telecommunication systems, military electronics, and aerospace engineering, where highly durable and hermetically sealed enclosures are required. Military applications include energy management systems and electronic warfare platforms.
