Don't be afraid to ask
which mechanical configuration for the base is best for you?
There are three base configurations for our photomultipliers, although not all of these are available on all types. The options for any pmt are listed in the specifications section of our photomultiplier brochure. Select the base option that best suits your requirements, noting that:
In the hardpin base, the pins exit directly from the glass envelope to match a mating socket. These photomultipliers have the shortest length.
The capped base (K) has more robust pins set in a blue, opaque thermoplastic cap. The photomultipliers are longer than the hardpin version but offer the advantage of best electrical contact and mechanical support.
The flying lead base (FL) has a set of flexible wires for soldering to a printed circuit board. These wires can also be terminated in a blue cap loosely or closely fitted to the pmt. Types supplied with loosely fitted caps are designated KFLB.
Electron Tubes can offer all hard pin flying pmts with welded-on flying leads to special order.
