The PB3-M model is designed to mount inside or along the side of a tabletop plasma system. It’s compact shoebox design contains a single RF power meter, alternate action and momentary control switches, 10 turn RF power adjustment and, manually adjusted matching network tuning knobs. You only need to add an output coaxial cable to complete your RF system and start sputtering today.

The PB3-100-M model has a 100 watt maximum RF output power rating which makes them desirable for powering 1″ diameter sputtering cathodes. The PB3-300-M model has a 300 watt maximum RF output power rating and better suited for larger cathode applications.
