Abstract: A connector (2) for establishing a plug connection with a mating connector (3) comprises at least one guiding element (21) for guiding the plugging together of the connector (2) with the mating connector (3) and at least one orientation structure (25; 27). The guiding element (21) has an elongated design and protrudes from the connector (2) along an extension direction (E) and the orientation structure (25; 27) is configured to provide a rotation lock with a complementary orientation structure (24; 37) provided on the mating connector (3) with respect to a rotation of the connector (2) relative to the mating connector (3) upon connection of the connector (2) and the mating connector (3). A connector system (1) comprises such a connector (2) and a mating connector (3), the mating connector (3) comprising at least one receptacle (31) for receiving the at least one guiding element (21) of the connector (2).

Abstract: A receiving container for a detector which operates in an ultrahigh vacuum or in a protective gas atmosphere that consists of high-purity gas. The receiving container has a receiving portion which forms at least a portion of the receiving space for the detector, and a cover for hermetically sealing the receiving space. A first sealing surface is arranged at the receiving portion and a second sealing surface matching the first sealing surface is arranged at the cover. Between the sealing surfaces a gasket is arranged. A securing device presses the cover against the receiving portion to provide a defined contact pressure of the gasket.

Abstract: An actuation device for a connector includes a mounting element and an arm extending along an arm axis. The arm has a front section with a connection interface configured to receive the connector, a rear section and a bearing section between the front section and the rear section. The actuation device also includes a pivot element which is in connection with the bearing section of the arm and with the mounting element so as to connect the arm pivotably to the mounting element. The pivot element includes a pivot axle. A balance element is connected to the rear section of the arm and is configured to balance the arm regarding a movement around the pivot axle.
