Patent ID: 7244895

Claim:
An apparatus for electrical feedthrough comprising: a laminate substrate comprising a conducting material for connecting a first wire at a site exposed to a first environmental condition and a second wire at a site exposed to a second environmental condition, wherein the conducting material links the first wire and the second wire, and wherein the first environmental condition and the second environmental condition are separated by a divider defining an opening for passing therethrough one of the first wire and the second wire; and a first seal extending from the divider to the conducting material, for sealing the site exposed to the first environmental condition from the site exposed to the second environmental condition; a first wire engaging hole defined by and extending through the laminate substrate, wherein the first wire extends via the first wire engaging hole through the conducting material, a second seal forming an enclosed area with a portion of the laminate substrate for surrounding the wire engaging hole and the first wire extended therethrough and for sealing the site exposed to the first environmental condition from the site exposed to the second environmental condition, wherein the second seal includes a housing formed of one of metal and a thermoplastic, wherein the thermoplastic withstands a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius; a second wire engaging hole defined by and extending through the laminate substrate, wherein the second wire extends via the second wire engaging hole through the conducting material.
