Agenda

New Action Items

  • Slava to layout new setup to attach one connector stud to al plate and attach HV board directly to connector. will relocate connectors and check clearances with 8mm bend rad in wire
  • Tim to pursue Medelec 2 piece crimp pin quotes. Medelec said they could not make the one designed
  • Beni to complete rad tests of straws in the next couple of weeks and send straws back to CMU for test
  • Have endplates delivered to JLAB for spot check of hole coordinates. Tim to arrange with survey group


Action Items/Decisions from Previous Meeting

  • Fernando to look at stripping tools to reduce the need for large pcb on connector
    • Stripping tool located, inner pad 3mm, 2mm gap , HV outer pad 6mm. Total wdth of pcb 30.5mm, 8mm bend rad required for cable
  • Slava will layout Fernando's stud grounding option
    • Opted for connector to al plate standoff stud design
  • Gary to supply sketch of CMU grounding option
    • see below
  • Gary to check if he can still get conductive rubber boot used previously
  • Slava to update layout of cable to crimp pin per discussion
  • Tim to see if cable restraint bushing can be made
  • What needs to be done on al plate to ensure electrical connection? all
    • Decided on local cleaning and prep during assy
  • Gary to get sample of polycarbonate to test

Ground HV Card Through Standoff

Attached is a rough sketch showing the proposed stand-off scheme. File:Standoff.pdf

  1. ) A 6/32 blind threaded hole is drilled in the endplate.
  2. ) A 6/32 set screw is screwed into the hole. We can use conducting epoxy to improve the connection if needed.
  3. ) A 1/4 inch electrical standoff with a 6/32 tapped hole is screwed onto the set screw. There are three possible variations on this for the end in contact with the endplate.
    1. ) There is room for the 1/4 inch, nothing specicial
    2. ) There is not quite enough room for the 1/4 inch due to the heads of the feedthrus extending 1/10" above the surface of the plate. We can order a standard 1/4 standoff that has a diameter of 188 for the last .133 inches. This comes from McMaster-Carr.
    3. ) Or we can make in house modifications:
      1. ) we can (in house as needed) taper the end of the standof down to ~188 from 250 so it will fit,
      2. ) we can (in house) as needed remove some material from the head of the feed throughs so that the 1/4 in can reach the endplate.
  4. ) A .156 inch hole is drilled through the lucite plate.
  5. ) A 6/32 set screw goes through the lucite plate and screws into the standoff.
  6. ) Epoxy, or conducting epoxy in placed around the 6/32 set screw.
  7. ) A 1/4 inch electrical standoff with blind 6/32 holes is screwed
  8. ) The connector is attached to the standoff.

Mounting the HV card

We also would like to propose the standoffs that hold the HV card be on opposite sides of the card, rather than both on the same side. This gives less chance that the card will tilt during installation and removal.
