A method of manufacturing a gasket for a double busbar is disclosed. The double busbar may be composed of two separate electrically insulated flat conductors. The conductors may be arranged one above the other. The double busbar may be placed in a mold cavity for molding the gasket. The mold cavity may be closed around the double busbar and filled with a sealing material. The introduced sealing material flows around the flat conductors, adhering to the flat conductors, and solidifying in the mold cavity to form a gasket molded to the double busbar.

A bulkhead penetrator comprising a body having an interior and an exterior. An element having a first pressure is disposed within the body's interior in a first pressure region. An inner penetrator is configured to permit a transfer of the element from the body's interior past the physical boundary to the exterior of the body in a second pressure region having a second pressure, the inner penetrator having an interior surface exposed to the first pressure region and an exterior surface exposed to the second pressure region. An outer penetrator is configured to permit the transfer of the element from the interior of the body past the physical boundary to the exterior of the body in a third pressure region having a third pressure. An inner-outer connector connects the inner penetrator to the outer penetrator. Sealing mechanisms may prevent the transfer of the element from the first pressure region.

One aspect relates to a method for producing an electrical bushing for an implantable medical device. The method includes forming a holding element for holding the electrical bushing in the implantable medical device, the holding element including a through-opening. An insulation element of aluminum oxide is formed within the through-opening. At least one elongated conduction element is formed extending through insulation element. The at least one elongated conduction element includes an aluminum oxide in a metallic matrix. The insulation element and the at least one elongated conduction element are jointly fired thereby forming a hermetic seal therebetween without welding or soldering.

A feed-through for high external pressure applications and methods of producing are provided. The feed-through includes a base body, a through-hole extending through the base body, and a functional element. The functional element is arranged inside the through-hole. The functional element is connected to the base body in fluid-tight manner with a pressure compensator and an insulating material that at least partially surrounds the functional element and establishes the fluid-tight connection. The pressure compensator increases pressure resistance of the fluid-tight connection of the functional element to the base body against pressure.

A system has a connection element for the electrical connection of a first electrical assembly and a second electrical assembly. One of the assemblies is disposed in an explosion protected space and the connection element is arranged in an opening to the explosion protected space and closes the opening. The connection element has a cylindrical sleeve releasably arrangeable in a holder of the opening. The connection element has at least one printed circuit board in the cylindrical sleeve, with the printed circuit board having a plurality of conductor tracks for the electrical connection of the first electrical assembly and the second electrical assembly, with the connection element having a cast part. The printed circuit board is fixed and sealed in the cylindrical sleeve by means of the cast part, and with respective ends of the printed circuit board having the respective conductor tracks projecting from the cast part.

A bulkhead system for passing conductors between a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side. The bulkhead may be used in harsh environments to pass signals or power to sensors and actuators on one side and to sensitive electronics on the other side. The conductors run through and are bonded at sides to a body, which body is supported in the direction of the pressure differential and not highly supported in other directions.

A universal bushing is described herein. The universal bushing can include a base member and a first bushing member. The base member can include at least one outer portion and at least one inner wall that forms a first cavity, where the at least one inner wall has a perimeter that is substantially uniform along a first height of the at least one inner wall. The first bushing member can be removeably coupled to the base member and disposed within the first cavity, where the first bushing member includes at least one first wall having a first inner surface that forms a second cavity and a first outer surface, where the at least one first wall has a first inner perimeter that is substantially uniform along a second height of the at least one first wall, and where the first outer surface forms a first outer perimeter.

A cable exit cover for sealing a portion of a cable includes a first cover member and a second cover member matable with the first cover member to define a housing having an inlet receiving the cable. The inlet has a sealing seat accommodating the cable. The sealing seat has a plurality of gripping devices uniformly distributing a dispensed sealing material along the sealing seat to seal a gap between the sealing seat and the cable.
