Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Proven 1179A Platform — MKS Mass-Flo® 1179A is one of the most widely deployed MFC families in semiconductor fabs globally, with decades of field reliability data.
- Dual Configuration Codes — The ESA-Y2020A23-11 and ESA-Y3040A23-21 suffixes indicate specific gas calibration, range, and fitting combinations, enabling drop-in replacement without re-qualification in validated processes.
- Analog Compatibility — Direct interface with legacy MFC controllers, gas boxes, and process tools without protocol conversion.
- Tight Accuracy ±1% FS — Critical for stoichiometry control in CVD and ALD where gas ratio directly determines film composition and electrical properties.
- Normally Closed Valve — Fail-safe design: gas flow stops on power loss, protecting process chambers and personnel.
- 316L SS Wetted Path — Corrosion resistance for halogen-containing process gases (NF₃, WF₆, HCl).

Application-Specific FAQ
- Q: What gas species is this MFC calibrated for?
- A: The calibration gas is encoded in the configuration suffix. Please contact us with your part number and we will decode the full specification including gas type, full-scale range (sccm/slm), and seal material.
- Q: Is this unit compatible with my existing MKS 247 controller?
- A: Yes. The 1179A series uses standard 0–5 VDC analog interface, fully compatible with MKS 247, PR4000, and most third-party MFC controllers using the same signal standard.
- Q: Can I use this MFC for corrosive gases like HCl or NF₃?
- A: Compatibility depends on the seal material specified in the configuration code. 316L SS body is compatible with most corrosive gases; seal material (Viton vs Kalrez) determines the final chemical compatibility. Contact us to confirm.
- Q: Do you offer recalibration services?
- A: We can coordinate factory recalibration through MKS-authorized service centers. Lead time and cost vary by configuration. Inquire at support@konmask.com.
- Q: What is the difference between ESA-Y2020A23-11 and ESA-Y3040A23-21?
- A: These are two distinct configuration codes representing different full-scale ranges, gas calibrations, or fitting specifications. Both are listed for cross-reference purposes. Please confirm which configuration your process tool requires before ordering.
- Q: Can you ship internationally?
- A: Yes. We ship worldwide with DHL Express, FedEx International Priority, and sea freight for bulk orders. Export documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, COO) is provided for customs clearance.
