Connector Mating System Maintenance
in a filtered housing sitting on rails. A threaded shaft drives this connector towards or away from the cryostat.
The shaft pushes or pulls the filter/connector box w.r.t. the rest of the electronics. The flex electrical connector connects to the backplane.
Inside view of the housing showing a pair of slots for the rails per MDM and the hole for the bolt which keeps each filter/connector box from moving too far once installed.
This close up shows the rails and also the oval slot used to keep the filter from moving too far.
showing the hex front ends of all the connector mating shafts. Notice that even when well adjusted there may be small differences in how far each shaft end protrudes.
Looking back atht efron panel. See that each shaft is held from moving out of the front of the box by a black steel split clamp.
