Series Quick Reference Guide

Hermetic = Airtight

Glenair is Qualified to MIL-DTL-38999 Series I, II, III and IV

D38999 Hermetic Connector Overview

Permanently sealed by fusion or other means to prevent the transmission of air, moisture vapor, and all other gases. (Made airtight by fusion or sealing)

Hermeticity is usually expressed as the rate of leakage volume of helium per second in time

Glass-to-metal seal technology is used to provide a robust hermetic seal between a metal conductor and a metal body. The glass also acts as an insulator between the body and the pins.

Complete isolation of all elements between two environments
