Product variants of hermetic connectors and packaging for medical devices​

SCHOTT manufactures autoclavable hermetic connectors, windows, and packaging designs that deliver excellent long-term protection. These fully customizable components keep the electronics in critical medical instruments and devices working properly.
Sterilizable Connectors

Sterilizable connectors

Electrical connections in medical devices are potential weak points because they can permit moisture intrusion. Even wires sealed with a cable cover can sometimes experience moisture wicking. SCHOTT’s glass-to-metal seal technology creates a robust moisture barrier that effectively mitigates connection risks. Hermetically sealed using only inorganic non-aging materials, our connectors can withstand more than 3,500 autoclaving cycles.
