Thunderline-Z's Aerospace and Defense products help solve the most challenging engineering designs
For more than 30 years, Thunderline-Z has been recognized as the world's premier manufacturer of RF and DC feedthrus and microwave packages. Offering turnkey packages with any combination of feedthrus, press-on connectors, and multi-pin headers, Thunderline-Z meets the requirements of the most challenging engineering designs, including applications that call for direct fire, soldered, or laser welded combinations, varying solder schedules, component integration, and filtered connections.
Surface Mount Bell Pins
The Thunderline-Z Bell Pin, a revolutionary design that does not require an external bent pin for contact, has been developed to work with lightweight aluminum or brass housings to create surface mount connections that perform well into K band frequency
Initiator Assemblies
Our initiator assemblies are the primary component in a variety of electrically stimulated initiation devices. They consist of a metal outer ring and a center pole, which are completely separated by glass insulation.
Hermetic Electronic Packages
Our team knows the unique science of designing and manufacturing for hermeticity. We can produce highly customized hermetic packages for high frequency and fiber optic electronics with any combination of feedthrus, press-on connectors, tubes, and multi-pin headers.
Stamped/Coined Microelectronic Packages
Integrated packages for use in all RF/Microwave applications, including military radar and communications, SIGINT, EW, and spaced-based systems.
RT-50 OHM Feed Throughs
Thunderline-Z produces the highest quality RF50 Ohm electrical feedthrus on the market. By employing tight control of component tolerances and advanced manufacturing processes, our feedthrus are able to achieve one of the highest frequency responses available – all while maintaining hermetic integrity.
DC Feedthtoughs
Our DC feedthrus are manufactured using precision components and controlled furnace technologies for perfect hermeticity. Our miniature DC feedthrus are half the size of an average feedthru, ideal for a variety of applications where a tight space within a row of feedthrus is imperative.
Laser Lidding - Component Installation
Thunderline-Z's state-of-the-art laser center offers high-power, industrial-grade laser services using a precise, controlled glove-box atmosphere for the laser hermetic sealing of high-frequency devices, components, and subassembly packages. Thunderline-Z can attach components within packages as well as seal lids to packages.
Multi Pin Feedthrough Array
Thunderline-Z multi-pin feedthrus are equipped with headers featuring tight feedthru center-spacing, built-in filtering, ground pins, and superior matching of pin diameter and glass.
Capacitor - Filter Feedthroughs
Designed to eliminate noise and frequency interference in filtering applications found in modulators, switches, amplifiers, filters, and multi-function assemblies. our capacitor feedthrus provide for ultra-pure DC signals at high frequencies.
