As highlighted in Pasternack’s article, “Why Hermetic Enclosures/Sealing?”, hermetic packaging is a critical solution for protecting sensitive electronics from environmental contaminants. This method encapsulates devices in an airtight enclosure, preventing exposure to dust, moisture, corrosive chemicals, and extreme conditions that could lead to failure or degradation. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, military, and industrial manufacturing rely on hermetic sealing to ensure the longevity and performance of their critical systems.
Hermetic enclosures play an essential role in High-Reliability (Hi-Rel) applications, particularly in RF/microwave components, semiconductors, and sensors. While hermetic packaging adds weight and cost, it remains the most reliable defense against environmental contamination, making it a requirement in many military and aerospace standards, such as MIL-STD-883C, which evaluates hermeticity through helium leak testing.
