Gasonics AWD-1-8 Power Distribution Cable Assembly
Product Description: This is a heavy-duty electrical wiring harness designed for distributing AC or DC power within the Gasonics tool. Unlike signal cables, the AWD-1-8 is engineered to carry higher current loads required by actuators, heaters, or vacuum pumps. It is a pre-fabricated assembly that ensures proper grounding and isolation for high-power components.
Technical Specifications:
- Type: Power Cable / Mains Lead
Detailed content
- Conductors: 12 AWG to 18 AWG stranded copper (depending on current load)
- Insulation: Thick-wall PVC or Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE)
- Grounding: Dedicated green/yellow ground wire with high conductivity
- Connectors: IEC C13/C19, NEMA L5-30, or bare wire leads for terminal blocks
- Current Rating: 10A to 20A continuous
- Shielding: Typically unshielded for power, but may include foil for noise suppression
Functional Features:
- High Current Capacity: Designed to safely deliver power to resistive heaters, vacuum pumps, and solenoid valves without voltage drop.
- Strain Relief: Molded connectors or boots to prevent wire fatigue at connection points.
- Safety Compliance: Double-insulated construction to prevent electrical shock hazards.
- Modular Connection: Allows for quick disconnection of power modules during tool servicing.
Application Scenarios:
- Chamber Heating: Powering the chamber walls or showerhead heaters for high-temperature processes.
- Pump Control: Supplying power to roughing pumps, turbo pumps, and throttle valves.
- RF Generator Power: Providing AC mains power to the internal power supply of the RF generator.
- Load Lock Operation: Powering the robotic arms and gate valves in the load lock chamber.
