A FEEDTHRU INCLUDING A CERAMIC BASED COATING AND A METHOD OF APPLYING A CERAMIC BASED COATING TO A FEEDTHRU

摘要

The present invention relates to a feedthru (210, 210') provided with a ceramic based coating (260) and a method of providing a feedthru (210, 210') with a ceramic based coating (260). The feedthru (210, 210') includes at least one conductive pin (220) that extends through a header (217) and includes an exposed first end (221) and an exposed second end (222) spaced by an insulated portion (224). The at least one conductive pin (220) connects a first conductive element (121) connected with a first electrical device (300, 300a, 300b, 104, 105, 105') and a second conductive element (121') connected with another electrical device (20, 301), whereby the exposed first end (221) connects to the first conductive element (121) and the exposed second end (221) connects to the second conductive element (121'). The ceramic based coating (260) located on at least one of the following at least a portion of the first end (221) of the at least one conductive pin (220) that abuts the insulated portion (224) of the at least one conductive pin (220), at least a portion of the second end (222) of the at least one conductive pin (220) that abuts the insulated portion (224) of the pin (220), at least a portion of a first side (217a) of the header (217) that abuts the insulated portion (224) of the pin (220), and at least a portion of a second side (217b) of the header (217) that abuts the insulated portion (224) of the pin (220).
