Abstract:
1. A method of making a hermetically-sealed electrical feed-through device, comprising the steps of: positioning at least one conductor made of aluminum, copper, molybdenum or titanium within a separate outer body made of stainless steel in a mold such that a gap is formed between the at least one conductor and the outer body, the at least one conductor including multiple, separate, spaced-apart conductor pins; positioning an insert made of a ceramic material or a high temperature plastic material in the gap between the at least one conductor and the outer body, the insert including a multi-piece, segmented insert; filling the gap with molten plastic such that the plastic encases the insert within the plastic; permitting the plastic to harden thereby connecting the at least one conductor to the outer body; and crimping and/or swage-crimping the outer body to the hardened plastic.
