Q1: What are the safety precautions for handling a detector with a Beryllium (Be) window?
A: Beryllium is safe when encapsulated, as it is in this detector. However, if the window is broken or damaged, it can release fine particles that are toxic if inhaled. Always handle the detector with care. If a window breaks, do not touch the debris. Wear gloves and a mask, and dispose of the detector according to your local regulations for hazardous materials. We provide a detailed Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) upon request.
Q2: What is the recommended procedure for soldering the pins to a PCB?
A: To prevent heat damage to the internal detector element, we recommend using a soldering iron with a temperature not exceeding 260°C (500°F). The soldering time for each pin should not exceed 5 seconds. It is best practice to use a heat sink or pliers on the pin between the soldering point and the detector body to dissipate heat. We strongly advise against using a wave soldering machine.
Q3: Can this detector be customized, for example, with a different window material or pin configuration?
A: While the PD511008858 is a standard model, we do offer a range of customization options for OEM customers. This can include alternative window materials (like Aluminum for different energy ranges), custom pin lengths, or even different package designs. Please contact our engineering team with your specific requirements to discuss a custom solution.
Q4: What is the typical lead time for both sample orders and volume production?
A: For sample orders of our standard detectors, the typical lead time is 2-3 weeks. For volume production orders, the lead time is generally 6-8 weeks. We will provide a firm delivery date upon confirmation of your order and can discuss expedited shipping options if your project requires it.
Q5: How should I store the detector to ensure its longevity and performance?
A: To maintain optimal performance, detectors should be stored in their original protective packaging in a clean, dry environment. The recommended storage temperature range is -40°C to +60°C. It is crucial to store them away from direct sunlight and sources of radiation. Avoid storing the detectors in environments with high humidity or corrosive vapors.
