UHV feedthrough-connectors

[lauss@socrates.Berkeley.EDU]

Dear Friends,

Concerning the Ceramaseal connector-feedthroughs
I did some investigations:

1) The type and amount (7+3) of the requsted
   D50pin and 2-conductor connectors
   - identical to the presently used ones -
   is presently available and in stock.
   Including the endless time which it takes me get a
   purchase order I would asume that I can have
   them at Berkeley in less than 3 weeks, hopefully faster.

2) Prices are high:
   - 360$ for the D50
   - 402$ for the 12kV
   + taxes
   Which gives a total of 4000 US $

3) Berkeley will pay for the connectors.

4) Due to the very high pricing for simple connectors,
   I want to ask our PNPI collegues,
   how many spare connectors are really necessary ?
   You asked for two D50 and one 12kV,
   which amounts in 1200 $.

   Waiting for a quick reply.

    Best regards

        Bernhard
