Structured Manufacturing Data (2026)

Housing/Window

Based on aggregated insights from structured factory profiles within the CNFX directory, the standard Housing/Window used in the Computer, Electronic and Optical Product Manufacturing sector typically supports operational capacities ranging from standard industrial configurations to heavy-duty production requirements.

Technical Definition & Core Assembly

A canonical Housing/Window is characterized by the integration of Window Frame and Mounting Flange. In industrial production environments, manufacturers listed on CNFX commonly emphasize Germanium construction to support stable, high-cycle operation across diverse manufacturing scenarios.

Protective enclosure and optical interface component for infrared detectors

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Housing/Window

Definition
The housing/window is a critical component of infrared detectors that serves dual functions: providing a protective enclosure for sensitive internal components while featuring an optical window that allows infrared radiation to pass through to the sensor while protecting it from environmental contaminants, mechanical damage, and electromagnetic interference.
Working Principle
The housing provides structural protection and environmental sealing for the detector assembly, while the window is made of infrared-transparent material that allows specific wavelengths of infrared radiation to pass through to the sensor while blocking unwanted radiation, dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
Common Materials
Germanium, Zinc Selenide, Silicon, Aluminum alloy
Technical Parameters
  • Window diameter and thickness, housing dimensions (mm) Customizable
Components / BOM
  • Window Frame Part
    Secures and seals the infrared-transparent window material
    Material: Aluminum alloy or stainless steel
  • Mounting Flange Part
    Provides attachment points for securing the housing to the detector assembly
    Material: Aluminum alloy
  • Sealing Gasket Part
    Creates an environmental seal between window and housing components
    Material: Silicone rubber or fluorocarbon elastomer
  • Anti-Reflection Coating Part
    Reduces reflection losses and increases infrared transmission through the window
    Material: Dielectric thin films

Unsuitable: High-pressure or high-velocity fluid flow environments
Sizing Data Required
  • Detector active area diameter (mm)
  • Required field of view (degrees)
  • Mounting interface specifications (e.g., flange type, thread size)

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Frame warping/distortion
Cause: Thermal expansion/contraction cycles, improper installation tolerances, or structural loading from building settlement causing misalignment and stress concentrations.
Sealant/weatherstripping degradation
Cause: UV exposure, ozone attack, thermal cycling, or chemical exposure leading to loss of elasticity, cracking, and failure of the weather barrier.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Visible air/water infiltration during rain or wind (indicating seal failure)
  • Audible whistling or rattling during high winds (indicating gaps or loose components)
Engineering Tips
  • Implement regular sealant inspection and replacement schedule using UV-resistant, flexible sealants compatible with frame materials.
  • Ensure proper installation with adequate expansion joints and shimming to prevent stress-induced distortion from thermal or structural movements.

ISO 10077-1:2017 Thermal performance of windows, doors and shutters ANSI/AAMA/WDMA 101/I.S.2/NAFS-20 North American Fenestration Standard EN 14351-1:2006+A2:2016 Windows and doors - Product standard, performance characteristics
Manufacturing Precision
  • Frame squareness: +/- 1.5mm per meter
  • Glass thickness tolerance: +/- 0.2mm
Quality Inspection
  • Air leakage test per ASTM E283
  • Water penetration resistance test per AAMA 501.1
