Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of chips can this UV EPROM Eraser erase?
A: This UV EPROM Eraser is compatible with UV-erasable EPROM chips in DIP package formats, including 40-pin, 32-pin, and 28-pin ICs. It can also be used for semiconductor wafers and other small UV-sensitive objects. Up to 8 chips can be placed in the drawer and erased simultaneously.
Q: How long does it take to erase an EPROM chip?
A: Erasure time depends on the specific chip and exposure history, but the built-in 60-minute mechanical timer provides a flexible range to cover most standard EPROM erase cycles. Many chips erase fully within 15–30 minutes; the timer lets you dial in the exact duration you need.
Q: Is it safe to use this UV EPROM Eraser on my workbench?
A: Yes. The UV lamp is enclosed within the unit's protective housing, which contains the ultraviolet light and prevents accidental direct UV exposure during operation. Always avoid looking directly at the UV lamp and keep the drawer closed during the erase cycle for safe operation.
Q: Does the eraser come ready to use out of the box?
A: Yes. The unit arrives with the UV lamp pre-installed and includes a user manual to guide setup. Simply plug it in, place your chips in the drawer, set the mechanical timer, and the erase cycle begins automatically.
