Agenda

• Discuss Crimp pin design and manufacture
• Review spacer tube sealing
• Review Slava HV board mounting [[1]]
• Straw testing
• Polycarbonate machining

Action Items/Decisions from Previous Meeting

• Slava to layout new setup to attach one connector stud to al plate and attach HV board directly to connector. will relocate connectors and check clearances with 8mm bend rad in wire
• Tim to pursue Medelec 2 piece crimp pin quotes. Medelec said they could not make the one designed
  • Medelec will not make any more copper crimp pins of any design unless the order had already been placed. Tim Investigated other manufacturers to no avail. Hole/length ratio too small
• Beni to complete rad tests of straws in the next couple of weeks and send straws back to CMU for test
  • straws back at CMU
• Have endplates delivered to JLAB for spot check of hole coordinates. Tim to arrange with survey group
  • Vendor to independently check with Faro arm. Do we still widh to bring these to JLAB?
• Fernando to look at stripping tools to reduce the need for large pcb on connector
  • Stripping tool located, inner pad 3mm, 2mm gap , HV outer pad 6mm. Total wdth of pcb 30.5mm, 8mm bend rad required for cable

Notes

1. O-ring: The O-ring used on the prototype is a #103 BUNA-N Soft. The through-hole is 156 and the shoulder is a 9/32 into which the O-ring is forced.
2. Small modifications to connector/grounding assembly File:CDC Connector.pdf

• Gary to check if he can still get conductive rubber boot used previously
• Slava to update layout of cable to crimp pin per discussion
