Kimball Physics eV Parts®  are a group of several hundred standard parts used for construction of all types of surface physics and high vacuum apparatus. Made of high temperature metals and high purity insulators, the parts have application in research, teaching, product development and production. They are particularly useful in the eV to keV region, and in experiments involving beams (or fluxes) or charged or neutral particles.

The available parts include precision plates and cylinders for making electrodes, mounting rods, insulating spacers, brackets, special hardware and numerous other parts and hard-to-get materials. Most parts come in either of two basic size categories: B series (1/16" scale, based on the hole size in plates) and C series (1/8" scale).  The C series parts are generally larger and thicker, but the hole spacing and other dimensions of Series B and C parts are designed to be compatible.  For details on part types and sizes see: Part Numbering.

eV Parts® are available packaged in three ways: as individual part types in Standard Packages, as groups of part types in Assortments, and as balanced sets in Parts Systems.
For PART NUMBERS and PRICES see:
Individual eV Parts List 
for separate standard packages of individual part types, e.g. a package of three identical 1" square plates, prices per package, also prices for some assemblies sold separately
eV Parts Assortments
for collections of similar parts, e.g. various sizes of plates, prices per assortment
eV Parts Systems
for large collections of a wide variety of parts (up to 3000 parts, hundreds of types), prices per system
