Sample Environment Module for Flag-Style Plates – Optimized for Low Temperatures

Product code: SAECROM

The Ferrovac SAE (Sample Environment) series introduces a modular approach to sample holders for flag-style plates and other sample carriers. SAE modules share a standardized mechanical interface on both sides, enabling them to be stacked and combined in any sequence to meet experimental requirements. The position of the sample surface relative to the central axis (typically the manipulator’s rotation axis) can be adjusted for precise alignment.

The SAECROM module is optimized for low-temperature applications.

By default, the sample drawer is electrically isolated from the grounded surroundings by a sapphire plate, allowing measurement of the drain current or the application of a bias potential to the sample. If electrical isolation is not required, the plate can be omitted.

All SAE modules support the installation of various temperature sensors, including Pt100, Pt1000, Cernox, diodes, and thermocouples. A side-mounted cable channel provides secure routing and protection of the sensor wiring. A standard TMPTCR100S(500K) platinum resistor is included in the basic configuration. 

The SAECROM module is pre-wired with UHV-compatible bespoken lenght, polyimide isolated phosphorous bronze wires for 4-lead temperature measurement and a 50 Ohm coaxial cable for sample bias/drain current measurement. The cables are terminated with 1mm diameter crimp pins, matching the standardized 24-pin circular connector of all Ferrovac Boomerax Inserts. 

The SAECROM module also includes a central 9 mm through-hole for optical access to the back side of the sample, making it well-suited for transmission experiments.

In its standard configuration, stainless steel screws are used, which may exhibit slight residual magnetism. For applications requiring complete non-magnetic construction, a fully non-magnetic version is available upon request.
