  • Problems with the Glass to Metal Seal in Electronics
    The glass to metal seal is a truly essential phenomenon in electronics, used in the manufacture of a wide range of products. From the "old-fashioned" (but still ubiquitous) incandescent light bulb to vacuum tubes, electric discharge tubes, and semiconductor diodes, to the reed switches in laptops
  • Glass Components
    MDC glass to metal adapters provide a means of attaching glass components to a metal vacuum system and or metal hardware to a glass system. These glass adapters are produced with the latest in glass-to-metal seal technology and are available in either Pyrex® code 7740 or Borosilicate code 7052
  • Sealing the Package: Potting and the Flat Ribbon in Switches and Relays
    Last time, we talked about the importance of achieving a vacuum-tight glass to metal seal in electronic products. Similarly, a method known as potting (also called encapsulation) is often used in manufacturing to create a tightly sealed package for electronic switching devices, including the flat
  • Glass Viewport Transmission Curve
    Glass viewports are an economical, practical and common solution for vacuum observation ports. Glass viewports are typically sealed to low expansion nickel-iron alloys or 300 series stainless steel metal sleeves using the latest in glass-to-metal bonding technology.
  • Viewports Introduction
    Glass viewports are an economical, practical and common solution for vacuum observation ports. Glass viewports are typically sealed to low expansion nickel-iron alloys or 300 series stainless steel metal sleeves using the latest in glass-to-metal bonding technology. The material in MDC glass
  • Application Notes: On Demand Laser Cut Gaskets & Masks
    In-house, on-demand, fast turn laser cutting of high performance materials used as gaskets and environmental seals for glass components interfaced with metals, plastics, paints, and more.
  • How to Handle a Reed Switch
    Reed switches consist of two or three metal reed contacts (blades) that are hermetically sealed inside a glass tube. This seal, while strong, may be damaged if proper handling is not used. HSI Sensing has years of experience handling reed switches and have identified several best practices.
  • Optically Bonding Electronic Displays
    Over-frame bonding - uses the original metal frame of the LCD for mechanical support. A sealant is used to prevent ingress of the bonding adhesives into the display electronics. The cover glass rests over the frame of the LCD and is optically bonded to the front surface of the LCD and sealed
  • Accelerometers: Hermetic sealing and helium leak testing
    Loosely defined as a "metal to metal weld, braze, solder or metal to glass fusion," hermetic sealing is a vague (and often abused) term. Under the previously cited definition even a porous weld would qualify as hermetic even though its ability to prevent contamination would be negligible. Epoxy
