1679278

The 1679278 from Phoenix Contact delivers groundbreaking performance in Heavy Duty Connectors - Frames, designed for ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) scientific instrumentation. This precision-engineered frame solution maintains exceptional outgassing properties while providing reliable electrical interfaces in critical research environments below 10^-9 Torr.With 6 UHV-compatible modules, the system supports complex experimental configurations. The bakeable design withstands 250 C outgassing cycles without compromising vacuum integrity.The Female/Male contacts utilize special surface treatments to minimize virtual leaks. Proprietary polishing techniques achieve surface finishes below 10 microinch Ra for optimal UHV performance.The B24 dimensions comply with standard CF flange configurations while incorporating innovative thermal breaks. This design prevents thermal conduction between vacuum chambers and external components.The Retaining Frame, Hinged construction employs molecular adhesion principles for perfect sealing. The monolithic design eliminates traditional elastomers that could compromise vacuum quality.Fabricated from Zinc Alloy, Die Cast, the frame exhibits negligible vapor pressure at operating temperatures. The material selection process focused on minimizing hydrogen outgassing in sensitive mass spectrometry applications.Rated for -40°C ~ 125°C in continuous UHV service, the frame maintains dimensional stability during thermal cycling. Performance is verified through residual gas analysis in actual operating conditions.
