The description sections and FAQ are machine-assisted and can contain errors; where they disagree with the record, the record is correct, and where description sections disagree with each other, Details wins._ ## Summary - Manufacturer: Inficon - Model: OSC-100A - Condition: Used and in Excellent Condition - Price: $385.00 USD - Availability: In stock, 2 available - Warranty: 1-Year Warranty with 30-Day Return Guarantee - ITAR restricted: No - Shipping weight: 6.6 lb, estimated - Shipping dimensions: 12X9X6 in, estimated ## Categories - Test Equipment > Electrical Test > Oscillators (primary) ## Details Part Number: 783-500-013 ## Function Generates stable oscillating signal for quartz crystal microbalance sensors in thin film deposition monitoring systems. Provides crystal drive frequency typically around 5-6 MHz with built-in diagnostic test crystal at 5.5 MHz for troubleshooting sensor connectivity issues. Interfaces with deposition rate controllers via coaxial connections, driving AT-cut quartz crystals to measure mass changes through frequency shifts. Features push-button test mode that switches between external sensor and internal reference crystal for fault isolation. Commonly used in vacuum coating processes including thermal evaporation, sputtering, and electron beam deposition for real-time thickness and rate monitoring. ## Platform Operates as component within Inficon SQC-310 quartz crystal microbalance deposition rate monitoring systems. Interfaces through dedicated sensor connector pathway to external crystal sensor heads for thin film thickness measurement applications. Features internal 5.5 MHz test crystal accessed via push-button for diagnostic isolation of oscillator electronics versus sensor head circuit faults. Provides frequency signal output to SQC-310 controller for real-time deposition rate calculations in vacuum coating processes including sputtering and evaporation systems. ## Application Diagnostic testing and troubleshooting of crystal oscillator circuits in vacuum measurement systems, specifically designed to isolate crystal failure problems by providing internal test crystal functionality at approximately 5.5 MHz frequency for circuit verification and fault isolation between oscillator electronics and external sensor head connections in thin film deposition monitoring applications. ## Images - - - -
