Method and apparatus for manufacturing hermetic terminal assemblies.

摘要

A method and apparatus of forming glass to metal hermetic seals in a terminal assembly of a housing part (16) wherein an upwardly directed glass melting heating gradient is applied to a housing part (16) having a glass sleeved terminal pin (17) supportedly disposed in an aperture therein with sufficient heat intensity to flow the glass sleeve (18) in an upwardly direction from bottom to top to fuse the terminal pin (17) in the housing part (16) with minimal voids.
