Aerospace & Defense

Military and aerospace systems and equipment face environmental challenges beyond where standard connectors and wires can take them. Douglas Electrical Components manufactures hermetic and environmentally sealed feedthroughs with a broad range of connectivity capabilities. Our hermetic portfolio can seal wires, cables, connectors, optical fibers, circuit boards, or some combination thereof with the opportunity to reduce weight and simplify designs. Our epoxy technology creates a hermetic, water-proof seal capable of protecting electronics from water, water vapor, and a variety of other liquids and gases.

Hermetic Connectors

Military and aerospace connectors are specialized connectors that are designed for use in the aerospace industry. They are used to connect electrical and electronic components in aircraft, spacecraft, and other types of aerospace systems. Aerospace connectors are typically characterized by their high performance, reliability, and durability, as they are required to withstand harsh environments and meet stringent safety and quality standards. MIL/Aero connectors are highly reliable and durable, with a long operating life and low failure rate, making them suitable for use in critical applications. They are also resistant to harsh environments and able to withstand extreme temperatures, vibration, and other types of stress. In addition, aerospace connectors are designed to meet stringent safety and quality standards, making them suitable for use in highly regulated industries such as aerospace. A hermetic aerospace connector is a specialized connector that is designed for use in aerospace applications where it is important to maintain a hermetic seal. A hermetic seal is a barrier that prevents the exchange of gases or liquids between the inside and outside of an enclosure, and is often used to protect components or devices from external factors such as moisture, dust, or contamination. At Douglas Electrical, we convert non-hermetic MIL/Aero connectors into hermetic connectors and connector assemblies. We create lightweight, plug-and-play assemblies with a customer focus in mind. Our combination of LEAN manufacturing and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) creates unique hermetic solutions for customers.
