Advanced Energy 3152225-035A MDX-10K AP1415S RF Generator – MDX-10K Series 10kW DC Magnetron Sputtering Power Supply
When a DC magnetron sputtering system loses its power supply mid-process, the consequences extend far beyond a simple production pause. Thin-film deposition targets quench unevenly, vacuum chambers must be vented and re-pumped, and entire substrate batches are scrapped — costing hours of downtime and thousands of dollars in lost yield. In semiconductor fabrication, flat-panel display coating, and precision optical thin-film production, the power supply is not a peripheral component; it is the heartbeat of the process. Without a reliable, arc-suppression-capable DC generator, plasma stability collapses and film uniformity becomes uncontrollable.
The Advanced Energy MDX-10K series — represented here by part number 3152225-035A with configuration AP1415S 2PW MVE4 MVE4 P 23020202-B — is one of the most widely deployed 10kW DC magnetron sputtering power supplies in global thin-film manufacturing. Engineered for demanding 24/7 production environments, the MDX-10K occupies the mid-power segment of Advanced Energy’s legendary MDX platform, bridging the gap between entry-level laboratory units and high-power production systems. Its combination of precise power regulation, fast arc detection and extinction, and robust 3-phase 415V input compatibility has made it a standard specification on OEM sputtering tools from Applied Materials, Ulvac, Leybold, and Von Ardenne.

Our Quality Assurance Process
Every Advanced Energy MDX-10K unit sourced through Konmask.com undergoes a rigorous multi-stage inspection process before shipment:
- Visual Inspection: Examination of PCBs, connectors, capacitors, and power modules for physical damage, corrosion, or unauthorized modifications.
- Functional Power-On Test: Unit is energized and output regulation across all three modes (CP/CV/CC) is verified against factory specifications.
- Arc Management Verification: AE Sparc™ arc detection response is tested using a controlled arc simulation load.
- Interface Communication Test: MVE4 analog and RS-232 interfaces are verified for correct signal levels and command response.
- Burn-In Screening: Extended operation under load to screen for early-life component failures.
- Documentation: Full test report and inspection checklist accompany every shipment.
