ADVANCED APPLICATIONS IN THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY





Are you looking for high-quality, custom components? At Hermetic Seal, we design, engineer, and manufacture innovative hermetically sealed connectors for the most demanding applications — like aviation, space, and defense. So, you can be secure in knowing that even your most innovative ideas are airtight.

DESIGNING FOR AEROSPACE DEMANDS MORE

Designing equipment for aerospace applications requires world-class reliability. And while any manufacturing requires precision, the aerospace industry demands an even higher degree of attention and performance due, in large part, to conditions like speed, weather, or temperature and pressure changes.

At Hermetic Seal, we manufacture small, high-performance, high-precision custom-designed hermetic connectors that are essential for making the big things work. Things like engines, landing gear, actuators, electronic equipment, and more. We provide custom components that deliver outstanding performance, and our time-tested approach makes us your go-to partner for  best-in-class materials, engineering, and manufacturing of custom hermetic connectors.
And while our products represent a small portion of your overall system’s cost, they are essential in making sure your equipment works reliably under harsh and extreme conditions.
 
Our hermetic connectors help protect the electrical components that are essential in making equipment like engines and landing gear work.

PRECISION TECHNOLOGY FOR YOUR TOUGHEST APPLICATIONS

Innovation will continue to ramp up in aviation. From unmanned aircraft to artificial intelligence, biometrics, robotics, cutting-edge technology, and ultralight materials will create opportunities to transform aviation. However, with innovative ideas comes the need for innovative components that can perform under the most demanding circumstances.

As a worldwide leader in hermetically sealed interconnect components for over 80 years, Hermetic Seal engineers products for challenging and harsh environments. We specialize in aerospace applications, providing both the products and support services to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in commercial and military uses worldwide. Our products are found in avionics, guidance and control assets, weapon systems, sensors, instrumentation, and more.

While hermetic connectors represent a small part of the system’s cost, they are essential to reliability in harsh and extreme environments.
Hermetic Seal partners with aftermarket suppliers and service providers in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) to deliver well-made niche replacements to downstream integrators or airlines at competitive prices.  In fact, we’re so committed to innovation that we opened an Engineering Center of Excellence.

VERTICALLY INTEGRATED TO DELIVER MORE VALUE

Our engineering and production process is vertically integrated, which means from base material fabrication to part forming to complex assemblies, we do it all — including final testing and the full range of in-house analytics. And because we control the entire production cycle, we stand behind product performance over its intended design life.
This means that you benefit from products and services that are:
  • Fast, flexible, and defect-free: Using our fully integrated production system, Hermetic Seal offers competitive lead times and the lowest possible risk to supply.
  • Quality certified: We are certified to AS9100 aerospace quality standards, TS 16949:2002 continuous improvement standards, and  lean manufacturing standards. Hermetic Seal is also ISO 9001:2008 and ISO-14001 certified.
  • Supported from start to finish: We work with service providers worldwide for field installation and repairs on all of our products.
Whether you’re designing a new platform or upgrading an existing aircraft, we can help your project take flight.
