Lam Research 853-203016-174

Product Overview

The Lam Research 853-203016-174 is a 24-channel temperature control PCB assembly used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Industry parts listings associate this part number with the assembly 810-028296-174, together with 810-028295-174.

Temperature management is a critical function in semiconductor processing. Stable and accurately controlled temperatures help maintain consistent process conditions and protect sensitive equipment components. A dedicated multi-channel temperature control board such as the 853-203016-174 is therefore an important part of the equipment’s control architecture.

The part is particularly suitable for maintenance and replacement programs involving compatible Lam Research process systems.

Key Specifications

The 853-203016-174 can be identified through the following information:

• Manufacturer: Lam Research
• Part Number: 853-203016-174
• Assembly Type: PCB Assembly

The available listings also reference related part numbers such as 810-028298-032, 50020R-10, 810-028296-150, and 810-028295-150, indicating that configuration and revision matching should be performed carefully before replacement.

What Makes This Board Important?

A 24-channel temperature control assembly allows a semiconductor system to manage multiple temperature-related control points through a centralized electronic interface. This is valuable where several process zones or equipment components must be monitored and controlled simultaneously.

The main advantages include:

• Multi-channel control: Supports temperature management across multiple channels.
• System integration: Designed as part of a Lam Research equipment architecture.
• Centralized electronics: Combines multiple temperature-control functions within one PCB assembly.
• Maintenance convenience: The complete assembly can be replaced when troubleshooting identifies a board-level problem.
• Industrial application: Built for use within semiconductor manufacturing equipment rather than general-purpose automation.

Board Construction

The 853-203016-174 is supplied as a PCB assembly rather than simply a bare circuit board. Available descriptions identify it as a “PCB ASSY, 24 CH TEMP CTL”, with 810-028296-174 and 810-028295-174 forming part of the referenced assembly configuration.

The board assembly typically includes electronic control circuitry, signal interfaces, connectors, and associated components required for temperature-control functions. Depending on the exact equipment configuration, additional mounting hardware or plates may be included or omitted. One listing specifically identifies a version supplied without a plate, so buyers should confirm the physical configuration before ordering.

Semiconductor Equipment Applications

The Lam Research 853-203016-174 is intended for specialized semiconductor equipment. Its applications may include:

• Wafer processing systems
• Semiconductor fabrication equipment
• Temperature-controlled process modules
• Equipment refurbishment
• Factory maintenance programs
• OEM spare-parts inventories
• Replacement of defective temperature-control assemblies

Because temperature directly affects many semiconductor processes, reliable control electronics can contribute to stable equipment operation and repeatable manufacturing conditions.

Installation and Maintenance

Before installing the 853-203016-174, technicians should verify the complete part number and compare the existing assembly with the replacement. Related numbers such as 810-028296-174 and 810-028295-174 should also be checked to avoid installing an incompatible configuration.

Always disconnect equipment power according to the applicable maintenance procedure. Use appropriate ESD protection when handling the PCB and avoid contact with exposed electronic components or connector contacts.

During inspection, check for damaged connectors, corrosion, contamination, cracked solder joints, or signs of overheating. After installation, verify that all temperature-control channels communicate correctly with the equipment and monitor system diagnostics during startup.

For used or refurbished boards, functional testing before production use is recommended.

Replacement and Supply Considerations

The 853-203016-174 is a specialized Lam Research semiconductor spare part. Current industry listings confirm the part number and its association with a 24-channel temperature-control PCB assembly.

When sourcing this component, buyers should confirm:

1. Exact part number
2. Board revision
3. Associated PCB numbers
4. Physical configuration
5. Condition and testing status
6. Compatibility with the target Lam Research equipment
