Product Overview
The MKS 653B-10-250-2 is a precision exhaust throttle valve engineered by MKS Instruments for accurate flow control in vacuum and process gas lines. Operating as a downstream throttling element, it regulates system pressure by modulating the conductance of the exhaust path between the process chamber and the vacuum pump. The valve features a compact, corrosion-resistant body with a KF-style flange interface, making it suitable for semiconductor, thin-film, and general industrial vacuum systems requiring stable pressure regulation and repeatable flow characteristics.
