[Amps] Fermi Lab HV solutions

[Patrick Barthelow]

I am surprised that Fermilab rates RG 213 for use up to 20KV. Also, here is 

the HV connector website of Teledyne Reynolds, referred to in the text below:

An interesting solution to HV interconnects for a Laser.  Note schematics using a 3-500Z for 

a constant current regulator....

REQUIREMENTS
1. In general, connectors for high voltage use are to be chosen such that they are
incompatible with connectors for signal cables.
2. Connector components properly rated for the intended application shall be used.
Systems requiring voltages above 20kVDC shall utilize connectors specified for
the maximum design voltage.
3. In particular, because of the well-known physical compatibility with BNC
connectors, which have a lower voltage rating, the use of MHV connectors is
prohibited.
4. Where possible, red-jacketed cable should be used for high voltage applications.
5. The chassis connector shell shall be solidly grounded to the panel on which it is
mounted.
6. A "D" hole shall be used for mounting all panel connectors except flange mount
type connectors.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Standard Connectors For a System up to 5kVDC
a. The standard coaxial cable connector shall be the Kings Electronics 1705-2,
AMP 51426-1 (for use with RG 58C/U), or equivalent (STK#1435-2110).
Fermilab ES&H Manual 5045-2
Rev. 1/99
b. The standard coaxial panel connector for flange mount type should be
either Kings Electronics 1707-1 or AMP 51421, or equivalent
(STK#1435-2120).
c. The standard coaxial panel connector for "D" hole mount type should be
either Kings Electronics 1704-1, AMP 51494, or equivalent (STK#1435-2115).
d. The standard bulkhead adapter for coaxial applications shall be Kings
Electronics 1709-1, AMP 225064, or equivalent (STK#1435-2100).
2. Standard Connectors For a System up to 10kVDC
a. The standard coaxial cable connector shall be the Reynolds Industries
P/N167-4535, the Kings Electronics 1065-2 (for use with type C cable), or
equivalent (STK#1435-1700).
b. The standard coaxial panel connector shall be the Reynolds Industries
P/N167-3555, the Kings Electronics 1064, or equivalent (STK#1435-4800).
c. The standard coaxial panel feed-through shall be the Reynolds Industries
P/N167-3705 or equivalent (STK#1435-4850).
3. Standard Connectors For a System up to 20kVDC
a. The standard coaxial cable connector shall be the Reynolds Industries
P/N167-3516 (for use with RG 213/U) or equivalent (STK#1435-1750).
b. The standard coaxial panel connector shall be the Reynolds Industries
P/N167-3517 or equivalent (STK#1435-4900).
