Quartz Vacuum Windows

M.E.C.’s quartz vacuum windows are ideal for vacuum and pressure-tight applications.  The dielectric window is comprised of high-temperature quartz, brazed directly to a low-CTE KOVAR frame, to maintain a vacuum-tight seal over a wide temperature range without using epoxies or adhesives. These windows withstand 15 PSI of differential pressure in either direction and handle high peak, average, and CW power levels.

  • Hermetic
  • Low VSWR
  • High Power

Specifications

Note: Flange combinations include cover/cover, cover/groove, or groove/groove pattern, with thru-holes in both UG, CPR and CMR styles.
