Glass-to-Metal Seal Alloys

Glass-to-Metal Seal Alloys: JLC 486 / NiFe51

These alloys are for special glass to metal sealing applications in lighting, automotive, and electronic industries.

JLC 486 Alloy, also known as NiFe47Cr6 is used as single lead in compact fluoroscent lamps (CFL), as lead-in-wires for lamps, and insemiconductor devices.

NiFe51 Alloy is used as the single lead in CFLs for making electrical connection and glass sealing. It is also used for reed switches, spark application in air bags, battery connections, gas measurement sensors and in opto-electronics. Other variations of this alloy are also available. Please contact JLC for more details.
