Product Description
SSEC Solid State Equipment SMT Tank I/O Module 110110180-G – Vacuum Process Interface Board
A specialized Surface Mount Technology (SMT) I/O interface module from Solid State Equipment Corporation (SSEC), designated for monitoring and controlling peripheral devices within a semiconductor vacuum process “tank” or chamber. This board serves as a critical signal interface between the main tool controller and tank-mounted components like valves, pressure gauges, heaters, and sensors, providing isolation, conditioning, and protection.
