Product Overview

Hermetically sealed thread mount feedthrough filters are high-performance EMI/RFI suppression components designed for applications where environmental sealing and long-term electrical stability are critical.

Unlike epoxy-sealed feedthrough filters, hermetic versions utilize a glass-to-metal sealing structure, ensuring exceptional resistance to moisture, pressure, vibration, and extreme environmental conditions.

This product family is widely used in aerospace systems, military communication equipment, radar systems, medical imaging devices, and other mission-critical electronics where failure is not an option.

LCA hermetic feedthrough filters are engineered to provide:

 Stable electrical performance over long service life

 Excellent insertion loss across wide frequency ranges

 Reliable EMI suppression in harsh environments

This model features a 1.4uF*2 capacitance, 300 VDC rated voltage, a PI-type circuit configuration, and an 5/16-24 UNF-2A threaded mounting base with glass seals on both ends. It is ideally suited for applications requiring hermetic electromagnetic interference filtering solutions.

 

Key Features

 Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing for maximum environmental protection

 High reliability for mission-critical applications

 Excellent EMI/RFI suppression performance

 Stable electrical characteristics over time

 Thread mount design for secure mechanical installation

 Compatible with harsh vibration and thermal cycling environments

 Custom circuit configurations available (C / L / LC / Pi / T)

 

Working Principle

Hermetic feedthrough filters operate by integrating capacitive and/or inductive elements within a sealed conductive housing.

The glass-to-metal sealing ensures that the internal filtering structure is completely isolated from external environmental influences, maintaining stable impedance characteristics over time.

Key mechanism:

  • High-frequency noise is shunted to ground via capacitive paths
  • Inductive elements block high-frequency interference
  • Hermetic sealing prevents environmental degradation of dielectric performance

 

How to Select the Right Thread Mount Feedthrough Filter

Selecting the appropriate Thread Mount Feedthrough Filter depends on several electrical and mechanical factors, including capacitance value, rated voltage, circuit configuration, thread size and operating environment. Understanding these parameters helps engineers achieve optimum EMI suppression while maintaining reliable long-term system performance. READ MORE
