Keeping pace with today’s high technology

Spectronics Corporation believes that the timely application and refinement of advanced technologies can dramatically improve product performance. The Spectroline PC-4420A, PC-8820B and PC-9920A systems represent over 45 years of ultraviolet expertise, including nearly three decades dedicated to intensive research and development in UV EPROM/wafer erasing technology. As a result, our engineers have succeeded in designing a new generation of UV erasers which maximize productivity by incorporating features that set the highest standards of performance.

Features:

Advanced UV Lamp Design
New, ultra-high intensity grid lamps are produced in our modern, 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility to meet the finest design and performance specifications.

• Operating intensity is at least 60% greater than competitive systems
• Unmatched irradiance uniformity assures fast and complete erasure of every EPROM or wafer
• Higher UV intensity and greater irradiance uniformity mean superior throughput

Increased Load Capacity

Drawer dimensions are ideal for maximized load capacity of individual EPROMs, wafers and PC
boards. The drawer accommodates a variety of loading formats.

• Deeper drawer permits loading of PC boards and metric cards
• Wider drawer allows loading of open-face stocking tubes
• Heavy-duty slides permit drawer to open fully for greater access to loading area

Innovative Features

• Exclusive quick load/unload trays facilitate safe handling, ensure proper positioning, and allow
  pre-loading of EPROMs, PC boards, metric cards and wafers (see below)
• Digital timer is presettable to minimize operator error and provide automatic shut-off
• Two-piece, modular design simplifies maintenance and assures safe handling
• Safety interlock prevents accidental exposure to hazardous short wave (254nm) UV radiation

Reengineered PC-8820B — Ultra-high UV intensity, 2½ minute erasing time!

• Improved cooling system to dramatically extend the life of grid lamps
• Ultra-high UV (254nm) intensity—average initial intensity of 70,000 µW/cm² — produces up to
  four times the throughput of competitive systems
• Redesigned interior provides better air flow and uniform UV output
• New temperature gauge for better acclimatization to cabinet’s surroundings
• Special hood attachment with improved air exhaust/UV shield
• Manual fan speed control for automatic unit stabilization according to the room temperature

* Measured with IL1400A radiometer and UV sensor.
** Based on 6W-sec/cm2 EPROMs.
† Based on 24-pin EPROMs.
‡ Because of the relatively high current requirements of the PC-8820B, a 220V/60Hz version is supplied for use in areas where 120V/60Hz might ordinarily have been used. For the same reason, a 200V/50-60Hz version is supplied for use in areas where 100V/50-60Hz might ordinarily have been used.
