SPECIFICATION |
12CM |
Our smallest ceramic collar electrode designed for use on 8 - 12mm neon tubing. Neon tubing must not exceed 8 feet and consideration to the electrode size must be exercised during processing. This e lectrode is rated to operate at 30mA maximum current. Correct processing levels must be monitored with a Milliamp Meter and Torr or Positive Pressure Gauge. |
13CL |
This electrode is designed for use on 12 – 13mm neon tubing. It is rated for operation on 30 – 45mA transformers and has a longer shell for use on Accuwall classic tubing and units that may require higher current levels during processing. We suggest the use of 12CM electrodes on smaller diameter units of 8 – 10mm tubing. |
15CS |
This short (2 inch) electrode was designed for short length 15mm diameter neon units up to 6 feet long. It operates on up to 30mA transformers and is best suited to lead or lead-free glass. The Accuwall classic glass requires electrodes capable of longer processing times. Due to the short length of the shell, the electrode must be carefully monitored to insure it is not overheated during processing. It is ideal in applications where standing electrode height is a factor. |
15CM |
Our most popular electrode for use in housings or where short returns are used. It is rated for operation on 30 – 45mA transformers and can be used on neon units up to 10 feet long provided processing is monitored with all necessary gauges. Since it has a 500mA processing level, this electrode can also be used on smaller dia meters of tubing. |
15CL |
This electrode can be used on all 15mm neon tubes and is rated for use on transformer up to 80mA. It can be ordered in 2 different glass sleeve lengths (2.625 & 2.875 inches). It is not recommended for use on tubing diameters smaller than 15mm due to the high processing current required to fully process the shell. This electrode has successfully outperformed all electrode life tests against our competitors. This shell construction requires full system gauges when processing for best results to insure all recommended levels are achieved and vacuum levels during bombardment are monitored to insure shells are evenly processed. |
19CM |
This cold cathode electrode operates on 120 – 180mA transformers. It is designed for use on 18 – 25mm cold cathode tubing and must not be used on smaller diameters. It requires a bombarder 15KVA or larger to properly heat the shells and glass during production. System requirements and performance must be met before attempting cold cathode production. |
19CL |
This cold cathode electrode operates on up to 200mA transformers and has a longer shell than the 19CM. Again it requires a larger bombarder, 15KVA or larger and system requirements must be met before attempting cold cathode production. |
