GLAST LAT ProjectMarch 24, B Tracker Peer Review, WBS PWB & Pitch Adapter & Bias Final prototypes were recently produced and are being tested: –PWB: loaded with parts and new ASICs for functional testing –Pitch Adapter: Teledyne is bonding 3 of them to MCMs to check that the new design works –Bias: sent to Italy for review PWB: –Design files and specification sent to Young Electronics (L.A.) for quotation –Needs to include raised edge and precision machining of radius –Procurement spec: LAT-DS Pitch adapter and Bias Circuit: –Local Santa Clara vendor (Tycho) –Procurement spec: LAT-PS –Pitch adapter is single layer, no vias, very simple, but with Ni/Au plating

GLAST LAT ProjectMarch 24, B Tracker Peer Review, WBS Flex Circuit Readout Cables Procurement spec: LAT-PS-01132, includes specification of qualification and acceptance testing. Full-size prototypes manufactured by Parlex for the EM are being put through the specified test regime. Planning a visit to Parlex in early April. Short versions for the EM mini-tower were made at a local vendor (Tycho) and are being used in the electronics testing. The designs for the flight versions are being updated and verified in preparation for the procurement.

GLAST LAT ProjectMarch 24, B Tracker Peer Review, WBS Connectors Nano-connectors: Omnetics was recently approved and the parts are now on order, including the connector savers. Micro-D connectors: Kristek connectors are not yet approved, but we don’t expect any issues On MCM On cable Larger 080 screws
