5878A1B1
Brooks Instrument Quad-Channel MFC Control/Readout Module
About this part
5878A1B1 is a Brooks Instrument configured identifier observed in Sonisys auction records and external surplus evidence as a quad-channel MFC mass flow controller module. Official Brooks documentation confirms that Model 5878 belongs to older Brooks secondary electronics used with Brooks mass flow controllers, including power-supply use during calibration, but no verified official Brooks exact-part PDF or build sheet is currently available for the 5878A1B1 configured code. Channel wiring, connected MFC models, calibration behavior, power configuration, connector population, and host-system fit should be verified from the physical unit and applicable Brooks documentation before reuse
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.
Key Facts
Specifications
| Configured part identifier | 5878A1B1 |
| Manufacturer context | Brooks Instrument flow instrumentation and secondary electronics |
| Device type | Mass flow controller control/readout module / secondary electronics |
| Brooks secondary-electronics context | Brooks 5850EM/5964 documentation identifies older Brooks Models 5878, 5876, and 5896 as secondary electronics that can be used as power-supply support equipment during mass flow controller calibration |
| 5 V reference caution | When older Brooks 5878/5876/5896 secondary electronics are used with 5964/5850EM controllers during calibration, Brooks warns that the 5 V reference must be handled correctly and not grounded when enabled |
| Observed module description | Stored Sonisys auction records and external surplus evidence describe this exact configured identifier as a Brooks 5878A1B1 quad-channel MFC mass flow controller module; this is observed configuration context, not an official model-wide build sheet |
| Observed lab-use context | A university dissertation describes Brooks Instrument Model 5878A1B1 control boxes connected to Brooks 5850E mass flow controllers with 15-pin D connectors and a digital readout corresponding to controller opening; this supports observed use context only |
| Configured-unit rule | Channel count, wiring, input power, output signals, connector pinout, cable set, connected mass flow controller model, calibration setup, and control behavior should be verified from the physical unit label and exact Brooks service documentation |
| Application domain | Bench or tool integration support for Brooks mass flow instrumentation where the connected MFCs, cabling, calibration procedure, and system power requirements match the installed configuration |
