Product Description

The VF-0140-13 is a 1×40 alphanumeric display module. It utilizes Vacuum Fluorescent technology, which is known for its high contrast and self-emissive properties (the characters glow themselves, requiring no backlight). The “-13” dash number refers to a specific variation in character set, interface, or voltage configuration designed for integration into complex control systems.

Product Parameters

While specific “dash” details can vary, the standard parameters for the VF-0140 series are:

Product Advantages

• Superior Readability: VFDs offer a wide viewing angle (nearly 180°) and high brightness, making them much easier to read in dark or high-glare environments compared to traditional LCDs.

• Extreme Temperature Resilience: Unlike LCDs, which become slow or “ghost” in the cold, VFD technology remains crisp and responsive in sub-zero temperatures.

• Long Lifespan: Babcock displays are engineered for 24/7 industrial use, often exceeding 50,000 to 100,000 hours of operation.

• Aesthetic Clarity: The characteristic blue-green glow is less straining on the eyes and provides a high-end “instrumentation” look for professional equipment.

Key Considerations (Precautions)

• High Voltage Safety: Internally, VFDs require higher voltages (usually 20V–60V) to excite the phosphors. Ensure the casing is intact and power is disconnected before handling.

• Glass Fragility: The display is a vacuum-sealed glass tube. Avoid mechanical stress or impact, as a hairline crack will cause the vacuum to leak and the display to fail instantly.

• Outdated Technology: As this is a legacy product, ensure that you are purchasing from a reputable surplus dealer (like Radwell) and check if the unit has been tested, as old VFDs can suffer from “burn-in” or dimming over decades.

• ESD Sensitivity: Always use an anti-static wrist strap when handling the PCB to prevent damage to the driver ICs.

Product Applications

• Industrial CNC Machinery: Used as the primary operator readout for legacy lathe, milling, and grinding machines (e.g., Cincinnati Milacron or Allen-Bradley controllers).

• Telecommunications: Found in server racks and network switches for real-time status reporting.

• Medical Devices: Integrated into laboratory analyzers where high-contrast data readout is critical.

• Power Plant Controls: Monitoring stations where long-term reliability and 24/7 visibility are mandatory.
