A high power RF connector receptacle having a solderable pin, an outer connector receptacle shell and a high breakdown voltage dielectric such as Silicon Carbide. The connector receptacle can be completed as a stepped process where the Silicon Carbide substrate can be mounted to the package, the pin can be dropped into place and soldered, and then the outer shell can be soldered onto the SiC substrate. Alternatively, the SiC, pin and outer shell can be assembled as a subassembly and then soldered to the package. The combination of SiC and solder gives a hermetic seal to the package. In addition, the SiC has an extraordinarily high dielectric breakdown voltage for high power connections.
