Abstract
An RF feed-through connector has a single pin or multi-pins supported and hermetically sealed between a first portion of the connector facing the hermetically sealed interior portion of an electronics-containing housing and a second portion of the connector exposed to ambient conditions in which the electronics-containing housing is placed. The invention is particularly directed to a new hermetically sealed RF feed-through connector architecture in which the connector's outer shell contains a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) portion that enables it to be soldered to a low CTE insert that supports one or more hermetically sealed longitudinal signal pins. The connector's outer shell also includes a relatively high CTE portion that allows the shell to be readily joined as by welding to an adjacent support structure, such as a relatively high CTE aluminum housing and the like.
