Glass-to-Metal Sealing Solutions 

Norton specializes in both matched seals and compression seals, offering customized solutions to ensure optimal hermeticity for various applications. Our proprietary sealing process allows the use of a wide range of metals, whether for highly specialized applications or standard components. We provide tailored solutions to meet your needs.

How Glass-to-Metal Seals Work

Glass-to-metal feedthroughs use metallic conductors that pass through a sealed metal housing. Sintered glass rings or glass tubing segments are fused around the conductors to provide:

  • Electrical insulation
  • Mechanical strength
  • Precise conductor alignment
  • RF Performance

The choice between matched seals and compression seals depends on the specific application. If you're unsure which sealing method is best, our team can guide you in selecting the optimal solution.

Protecting Sensitive Electronics

Hermetic packaging is essential for safeguarding electronic components such as sensors, laser diodes, and optoelectronic devices from harsh environmental conditions, including:

  • Corrosion
  • Humidity
  • Extreme temperatures
