Abstract:
A temporary package for an electrical component including a container for housing the electrical component. The container is adapted to maintain a specialized internal environment until opened. Electrical communication may be established with the container housed electrical component without compromising the container internal environment. In a preferred embodiment, the electrical communication is established along an electrically conductive path extending between the container interior and exterior. The specialized environment may be a sterile internal condition with the container being formed of nested inner and outer trays each closed by a gas permeable closure through which sterilization is effected. The housed electrical component may be a signal generator, in which event its output signals are delivered to the container exterior without compromising the sterile condition within the container.
