PEEK fluidic connector
A turned and milled connector for a carrier or reagent line on an analytical valve stack. The buyer supplied the drawing. No customer or program name is published.
- Application
- Connection into a valve or manifold on an analytical instrument. Sealing diameters and a thread are the features that decide whether the part is usable.
- Material
- Virgin PEEK. Drawings for this part type usually name an unfilled grade in the 450G family, or a filled grade such as 30% glass or 30% carbon when stiffness is required. The grade on the drawing is what we buy.
- Process
- CNC turning for the body and sealing diameters, then a milling setup for wrench flats or a side port. Thin walls are roughed, stress-relieved, and then finished so the part does not move after it leaves the machine.
- Tolerance and inspection
- Thread class, sealing-face flatness or runout, and a burr-free condition on any internal intersection the drawing flags. On stable PEEK features the band we discuss is often ±0.025 mm, with selected diameters reviewed toward ±0.010 mm. That is a review range, not a promise on every surface.
