Abstract

A gasket for sealing interfaces between a micro-machined device and a macroscopic connection to the device. The gasket can include an o-ring, a frame, a tool post and a notch. Alignment of the tool post with a dimple formed in or through a surface of a component adjacent to the gasket facilitates alignment of the gasket. The notch and frame can also facilitate alignment of the gasket.
