Transistor package for high pressure applications
Abstract
TO63 transistor package can operate in hydraulic oil ar pressures of 200 psi or greater without leakage failure if it is reinforced by alumina disk brazed to cap and terminals. This inexpensive modification has been used successfully on power transistors in hydraulic circulating-pump assemblies for Space Shuttle orbiter and should be effective in other pressurized environments, such as in oil exploration equipment.
