PACS IHDR 12/13 Nov 2003 Photoconductor Detector Modules 6 Optical / Mechanical Module Camera Interface Radial arrangement of 25 high stress modules in groups of 5 modules. The centre of the radial arrangement is 240 mm in front of the fore optics in the plane of the pupil.

PACS IHDR 12/13 Nov 2003 Photoconductor Detector Modules 7 Electrical Interface Interface design The nano connector of the pigtail harness is glued to the harness substrate Thermal loads from the CRE flow via the Au wires between FEE and harness through the cooling strap to the 4 K level To minimalise thermal load to the module: – Kapton supports for FEE and harness substrate –All wires from the module to electrical interface parts are stainless steel; Problem under investigation: Ca. 5% of measured pixels “strange”! Contact resistance (?) between stainless steel wire and H20E

PACS IHDR 12/13 Nov 2003 Photoconductor Detector Modules 9 Support Post Stability: Cryovibration Test 200 um Slit between kapton tube and support part (no gluing) at the free bearing support posts: - Compensation of thermal expansion coefficient for different materials (module, FEE/harness substrate, kapton tube, etc.) during cool-down. - After cool-down: slit = um. Static tests at LN 2 temperatures: Design withstands forces corresponding up to accelerations of 110 g. Above support post design passed cryo cycling and vibration tests with qualification load levels. Free bearing support post Slit
