Molecular sieve cartridges with nominal 0.6 micron filtration for optical and electro-optic equipment.
Description
The AD107 M16 Ultra Clean Desiccator Series uses molecular sieve desiccant to control moisture in optical and electro-optic equipment. The cartridges are designed to work with two-way or inward valves, allowing the assembly to be panel mounted onto the equipment.
A nominal 0.6 micron filter helps maintain optical cleanliness. The series operates from -40°C to +85°C and includes four models with different lengths and desiccant charges, detailed in the comparison table below. The supplied specification identifies the desiccators as REACH and RoHS compliant.
