Dear Brad,
thanks for the reminder. I talked to Thi yesterday about the large HV
SAMTEC connectors at the top of the NPS box. Indeed, they are only rated
for 850V, but he has tested each of them individually up to 1500 V and
found no issues with none of them. The same should apply to the (small)
SAMTEC connectors on the PMT voltage dividers, although that was Fernando's
group choice. We are happy to discuss this further if you think this may be
an issue, or additional tests are recommended.
Concerning the layout inside the box, Emmanuel provided a few detailed CAD
drawings that I put here:
www.jlab.org/~munoz/NPS_cables
I annotated some of the elements in the .pdf/.pptx file attached. Let me
know if that helps, or you want more details (or additional views).
Thanks for your help with this.
Best,
Carlos
