Abstract
A purge port assembly for a wafer container includes a purge module configured to allow inlet flow of purge gas and a transition portion disposed over an intermediate outlet of the purge module. The transition portion includes a receiver configured to receive the purge gas discharged from the purge module, an outlet connector configured to attach with a diffuser, and an intermediate conduit. The intermediate conduit connects the receiver to the outlet connector and extends from the receiver at an acute angle relative to an axis of the inlet opening of the receiver. The intermediate conduit has a length that spaces apart the outlet connector from the receiver. A wafer container includes a shell and a purge port assembly. The shell includes an interior space. The purge port assembly extends through an opening in the shell into the interior space.
