This switch (an FAA certified crash sensor) is built in a modified TO-5 package. Typically, inside diameter of the nickel can is .314", with a flange diameter of about .355-.365". The header inserts into the can and is resistive-welded around the diameter using weld tools that support...
I have data handy for Kovar wire, where Specific Resistivity is rated at 49 micro-ohms/cm.
Specific Resistance is rated at 294 ohms/CMF.

We are a leading manufacturer of motion, acceleration and impact switches. Typically, these devices are built in transistor packages (TO-18, TO-5, etc)Some time back, someone decided to switch from Kovar to C1215 for headers, in an effort to reduce costs. However, we use nickel cans and have...
