Talktronics, Inc. - CCD / FPA Socket Adapters

Socket Adapters are used in the CCH Dewar to connect a given CCD or FPA to the Camera Head electronics. A Camera Head may therefore support a number of sensors, with the appropriate configuration of the timing generator and support software. All socket adapters are designed to permit cooling of the sensor by a "cold finger" against the back of the sensor package. Currently, the following devices are supported:

Additional devices are being added to the list, contact the factory for inclusion of other sensors or special requirements. The general-purpose nature of the Universal Camera System allows virtually any CCD or FPA to be supported.
