Abstract: A low profile hermetic electrical connector includes a conductive layer with opposite first and second conductive layer surfaces. An inner electrical isolation layer is coupled between the first conductive layer surface and a first contact and an outer electrical isolation layer is coupled between the second conductive layer surface and a second contact. A contact interconnector electrically couples the first contact and the second contact through the inner electrical isolation layer, the conductive layer, and the outer electrical isolation layer without electrically contacting the conductive layer, creating a serpentine, low flow path for vapor through the adhesive layers. In a hermetic electrical cable end connector, the first contact is electrically coupled to a first conductor through a first interconnector and a second contact is electrically coupled to a second conductor through a second interconnector. Two additional electrical isolation layers are required.
