Product Overview

A hermetically sealed feedthrough filter is a high-reliability EMI/RFI suppression component designed to block unwanted electromagnetic interference while allowing the desired power or signal to pass through. Unlike conventional epoxy-sealed filters, hermetic filters utilize a glass-to-metal sealing structure that creates an airtight barrier against moisture, dust, pressure changes, and other environmental contaminants. This construction ensures stable electrical performance and long service life in demanding applications.

HB4033-001A features a 1000 pF capacitance, 200 VDC rated voltage, and C-type circuit configuration. It provides an excellent balance between compact dimensions, filtering effectiveness, and long-term operational stability.

 

Key Features

✔ Excellent EMI/RFI Suppression

✔ Gold-Plated Metal Housing

✔ High Mechanical Strength

✔ Protects sensitive electronics from conducted EMI

✔ Improves system stability and signal integrity

✔ Extends product service life under demanding operating conditions

 

Why Hermetic Sealing?

Glass-to-metal sealing creates a permanent, leak-tight barrier between internal electrical components and the external environment. Unlike conventional epoxy sealing, hermetic construction offers significantly enhanced protection against moisture, dust, corrosive gases, pressure fluctuations, and thermal stress.

This sealing technology enables stable electrical performance over extended service periods while minimizing the risk of insulation degradation caused by environmental exposure.

 

High Reliability Construction

Hermetically sealed filters are specifically designed for mission-critical applications requiring continuous and dependable operation. Their robust construction helps maintain consistent insertion loss, insulation resistance, and filtering performance even under severe environmental conditions.

 

Typical Applications

Aerospace & Avionics

Hermetically sealed filters are extensively used in avionics, flight control systems, navigation equipment, satellite communication payloads, and airborne electronic modules. Their glass-to-metal sealing construction withstands rapid pressure changes, temperature cycling, and harsh environmental conditions while maintaining stable EMI suppression throughout long service life.

Medical Equipment

High-end medical imaging systems, MRI equipment, CT scanners, patient monitoring devices, and laboratory instruments require extremely stable electrical performance. Hermetic filters help minimize conducted noise, improve signal integrity, and enhance the operational reliability of sensitive medical electronics operating continuously over extended periods.

RF & Microwave Systems

These filters are widely applied in RF amplifiers, microwave communication equipment, satellite ground stations, precision signal processing modules, and high-frequency electronic systems. Their excellent EMI suppression and low parasitic characteristics help preserve signal quality while improving electromagnetic compatibility.

Industrial High-Reliability Electronics

Suitable for industrial automation, energy systems, railway electronics, harsh-environment control equipment, and critical infrastructure, hermetically sealed filters provide dependable EMI protection where continuous operation and environmental durability are essential for system reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • What are the advantages of glass-to-metal sealing?

Glass-to-metal sealing provides a permanent hermetic barrier between the internal filtering elements and the external environment. Compared with epoxy sealing, it offers significantly higher resistance to moisture ingress, thermal cycling, vibration, pressure variations, and corrosive environments. This technology helps maintain insulation resistance, electrical stability, and reliable filtering performance throughout the product’s service life, making it ideal for mission-critical electronic systems.

  • What is the difference between epoxy-sealed filters and hermetically sealed filters?

Both filter types provide effective EMI suppression, but they are designed for different operating environments. Epoxy-sealed filters are suitable for general industrial and commercial applications where cost-effectiveness and reliable performance are important. Hermetically sealed filters are specifically designed for aerospace, military, medical, and other high-reliability applications where long-term environmental protection, superior sealing performance, and maximum reliability are essential.

  • Which applications typically require hermetically sealed filters?

Hermetically sealed filters are commonly used in aerospace electronics, military communication systems, radar equipment, satellite electronics, medical imaging devices, industrial control systems operating in harsh environments, RF and microwave equipment, and other mission-critical electronic systems where environmental sealing and long-term reliability are required.

  • How do hermetically sealed filters improve system reliability?

Hermetically sealed filters isolate the internal filtering components from environmental influences such as moisture, dust, corrosive gases, and pressure fluctuations. By maintaining stable electrical characteristics over extended operating periods, they help reduce the risk of insulation degradation, electrical failure, and EMI-related performance issues, ultimately improving the overall reliability of critical electronic systems.

  • Do you offer gold wire bondable versions?

Yes. Selected Hermetically Sealed Filters can be supplied with gold wire bondable terminals for integration into hybrid circuits, microwave modules, aerospace electronics, and other advanced electronic assemblies.
