With Sussex Wire's cold-headed manufacturing savvy in glass seal hermetic pins, you can increase your production speed and improve your final product's reliability. Sussex has everything in-house: a very large inventory of glass to metal seal material including copper core alloys; cold-forming modeling software; die production; and many other post cold forming and finishing operations.

Most importantly, Sussex has an engineering staff with experience in hermetic seal pins as a specialty, not just as a contract manufacturer. As a partner with the ability to work with your engineers and suggest design improvements for pins in feedthroughs or connectors. For instance, Sussex can control the diameter of the copper in 446 copper core wire. This level of experience is not commonly found and is one of the primary reasons Sussex works with companies around the globe, not just with our North America customers.
