Abstract: A method for establishing a substantially continuous electrical interface between a first expanse of a first electrical part and a second expanse of a second electrical part includes the steps of: (a) in no particular order: (1) Adhering a first layer of substantially pure gold material to at least a portion of the first expanse; and (2) adhering a second layer of substantially pure gold material to at least a portion of the second expanse. (b) Urging the first expanse and the second expanse together.

Abstract: An electrical device package includes an aluminum header having a gold-coated sealing surface and an electrical device mounted within the boundary defined by the sealing surface. An annular gold-coated stainless steel seal ring registers with the sealing surface of the header. An annular bonding layer of a gold-tin alloy lies between, and registers with, the sealing surface of the aluminum header and the stainless steel seal ring. The electrical device is fastened to the header using an electrically and thermally conductive epoxy adhesive. A stainless steel cover has a flange which is welded to the seal ring to form a hermetically sealed package.
