A hermetic feed-through includes a housing body defining a hollow space, a plurality of conductive pins and a seal structure. The plurality of conductive pins extend through the hollow space. The seal structure is provided in the hollow space and includes a single-piece glass component. The single-piece glass component hermetically seals at least two conductive pins to the housing body and electrically insulates the at least two conductive pins from the housing body.

Solid core glass bead seal with stiffening rib

A power terminal feed-through includes a housing body, a plurality of conductive pins, and a seal structure that hermetically seals the conductive pins to the housing body and electrically insulates the conductive pins from the housing body. The seal structure includes a first material fused to one of the housing body and the conductive pin, and a second material fused to the other one of the housing body and the conductive pin. The first and second materials may be properly chosen to match thermal expansion of the housing body and the conductive pins, respectively.
