Abstract

An electrical feedthrough capable of connecting electrical components on opposite sides of a bulkhead includes a feedthrough housing having hermetically sealed therein a hermetic sub-assembly consisting of an electrical conductor concentrically disposed within a dielectric body which, in turn, is disposed within a conductive sleeve. The hermetic sub-assembly is sealed to the feedthrough housing by a flange which projects outwardly relative to the conductive sleeve, and which flange is physically deformed against the internal surface of the feedthrough housing. In the method for making the electrical feedthrough according to the invention, the connecting component is hermetically sealed within the connector body physically deforming a flange projecting outwardly relative to the conductive sleeve against an internal surface of the feedthrough housing.
