The FERS-5200 adapter family provides dedicated front-end interfacing solutions for A5202/DT5202 and A5204/DT5204 readout boards, enabling optimized connection, bias distribution and signal routing for SiPM arrays and discrete sensors.

These adapters convert the edge-card interface of FERS front-end units into detector-specific connectors, ensuring controlled impedance paths, temperature monitoring and mechanical compatibility with common SiPM matrices or custom detector layouts.

Designed for both laboratory prototyping and integrated detector assemblies, the adapters support dense multi-channel SiPM readout, fast signal access and environmental shielding, enabling reliable operation in spectroscopy, timing and imaging applications.

  • Detector-specific interfacing
    Dedicated adapters for OnSemi (ex SensL) and Hamamatsu SiPM matrices, discrete SiPM arrays and custom cabling layouts.

  • Full bias & signal routing
    Simultaneous distribution of bias, signal and temperature monitoring across up to 64 channels.

  • Fast signal access
    Dedicated connectors for individual fast outputs enabling precise timing measurements and diagnostics.

  • Modular integration
    Direct compatibility withthe FERS-5200 ecosystem for scalable detector setups.
