Hmm, alright, I have been trying to be careful! Glad I haven't cut into the blocking-plate yet! > I have a couple small 3 pin feedthroughs you can have. What kind of voltage > are you working with? Current? I think 30V max, not sure of current but the first-application-attempt is a photodiode in reverse-bias mode, buffered by a MOSFET. These parts: BPW34 http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_1621132_-1 2N7000 http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_178669_-1 and the schematic (I'm planning on only having the 'light shield' section in the vacuum, maybe only the photodiode, 10M, and 2N7000)(don't mind the BPW34 being mislabelled on the image): http://imgur.com/ozKQkUj _______________________________________________ Hosted by the MEMS and Nanotechnology Exchange, the country's leading provider of MEMS and Nanotechnology design and fabrication services.
