precautions

Sockets and caps must not come in contact with any of the following:

• acetone
• cyanoacrylate adhesives
• chloroform
• dichloromethane

Only alcohol is recommended for cleaning.

Adhesives suitable for sockets and caps are epoxy resins, polyurethanes and silicones.

When inserting or removing a photomultiplier from a socket, maintain the tube axis at right angles to the plane of the socket as shown in the diagram below:

You must not, under any circumstances, solder directly to the pins of a hardpin photomultiplier. Flying leads may be soldered directly to a printed circuit board provided adequate heat sinking is used to protect the photomultiplier .

Soldering temperatures must not exceed 270 °C.

Electrical connections must not be made to socket contacts marked ic in the photomultiplier pin connection diagrams.
