Sensor

Holds the quartz crystal used to measure rate and thickness.
Crystals must be replaced occasionally.

In-Vac Cable

A coaxial cable that connects the sensor to the feedthrough.

Feedthrough

Provides isolation between vacuum and atmosphere for electrical
and cooling lines.

6” BNC Cable

Provides a flexible connection from the feedthrough to the
oscillator. Keep this cable as short as possible.

Oscillator

Contains the electronics to operate the quartz crystal. Total cable
length to the crystal should be under 40 in.

Sensor Input
BNC Cable

Connects the oscillator to the SQC-310 sensor input. Lengths up
to 100 ft. are acceptable.

Control Output
BNC Cable

Connects the SQC-310 output to the evaporation source’s control
voltage input. Keep the length under 10 ft..

Ground Wire

A wire, typically braided, that connects the vacuum system to the
SQC-310 ground terminal. Important for noise rejection.
