GE RoHS Performix 160A ECO Tube Compatible holder - FRU

The 160A ECO tube compatible holder is a component in radiographic systems. Radiographic systems are used to for imaging method diagnosis using X-rays. The systems work on the principle where high velocity electrons, when interacted with patient’s body, their kinetic energy is converted into electromagnetic radiation. An X-ray tube produces the X-rays. It contains an anode and a cathode. A stream of electrons is produced by X-ray tube. They are accelerated to high velocities by an external high-voltage supply and collide with the target anode in the tube. The beam formed is focused on patient and X-rays emerging from the patient carry the image information which can be stored on a film. The holder assembly is comprised of casing, tube installation log stickers, oil container, tube field strapping kit and full packaging for holder. The holder is fixed with X-ray tube by means of head screws and locking washers. The housing holds the tube in place in radiographic system and is compatible with it.
