Douglas Electrical Components - Model BPC Series -Hermetic Backpotted Connector
Douglas Electrical Components offers hermetic, moisture-tight connector solutions through our BPC backpotted connector series. Standard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) connectors can be converted to a hermetic design by backpotting the connector using our proprietary process. Douglas Electrical can also hermetically seal obsolete hermetic connector options for customers to maintain backwards compatibility, redesign a legacy product, or source a replacement. Our hermetically sealed connectors protect power and signal connections from environmental conditions. The enclosure contents and electronics are protected against liquids and gases from water vapor to fuels.
Directly integrate a variety of electrical connections including pins, wires, cables, optical fibers, flex circuits, and more. An added benefit to this electrical connection integration is the strain relief; the potting of the connector increases strain relief to prevent wires being pulled during installation and prevents voltage arcing.
Create prewired, turnkey assemblies for drop-in installation, increasing quality and reducing installation time. This can also consolidate the number of vendors to simplify design and supply chain management.
Reduce weight and size due to the combination of connector types and materials. Our hermetic epoxy will bond to a variety of connector materials including metals and plastics.
