This invention teaches methods of making a hermetic terminal assembly
comprising the steps of: inserting temporary stops, shims and jigs on the
bottom face of a terminal assembly thereby blocking assembly core open
passageways; mounting the terminal assembly inside a vacuum chamber using
a temporary assembly perimeter seal and flange or threaded assembly
interfaces; mixing a seal admixture and hardener in a mixer conveyor to
form a polymer seal material; conveying the polymer seal material into a
polymer reservoir; feeding the polymer seal material from the reservoir
through a polymer outlet valve and at least one polymer outlet tube into
the terminal assembly core thereby filling interstitial spaces in the
core adjacent to service conduits, temporary stop, and the terminal
assembly casing; drying the polymer seal material at room temperature
thereby hermetically sealing the core of the terminal assembly; removing
the terminal assembly from the vacuum chamber, and; removing the
temporary stops, shims.
