Precision Machining
PacAero's highly experienced CNC machinists use state-of-the art multi-axis mills, mill-turn and honing equipment to bring custom dewar concepts to life while meeting the tightest tolerances in Kovar, stainless steel and titanium.
Laser Weld Construction
Dewar components are integrated via laser welding, which produces rugged, narrow, deep welds. PacAero also provides brazing and soldering services for designs that require that capability.
Interconnect Options
PacAero's dewar assemblies can be configured with a variety of connector options, from custom feed thru configurations to Micro-D and Nano-D connectors with MIL-Spec interfaces. Connectors are built in house and can be manufactured with high conductivity beryllium-copper pins and an extremely rugged hermetic ceramic-to-metal hermetic seal. The typical leak rate for these hermetic connectors is 1x10-9 He@1ATM.
PacAero also provides an interconnect option that uses a high temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) circuit board rather than a typical pin-style connector between the atmospheric and hermetic sides. The HTCC is integrated into the dewar body with a specialized brazing process, delivering the same hermetic reliability as traditional connector formats, while providing higher density and an optimized wire-bond surface.
