  • Sealed radiation detector module systems and methods
    Patent number: 11391851
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide a radiation detector module for a radiation detector. A radiation detector module includes a metallic and/or metalized enclosure, a radiation sensor disposed within the enclosure, readout electronics configured to provide radiation detection event signals corresponding to incident ionizing radiation in the radiation sensor, and a cap including an internal interface configured to couple to the readout electronics and an external interface configured to couple to a radiation detector, where the cap is configured to hermetically seal the radiation sensor within the enclosure. The cap may be implemented as an edge plated printed circuit board (PCB) including a slot configured to mate with a planar edge of an open surface of the enclosure, where the slot is soldered to the planar edge of the enclosure to hermetically seal the radiation sensor within the enclosure.

  • Radiation detector module systems and methods
    Patent number: 10451747
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide a radiation detector module for a radiation detector. A radiation detector module an enclosure, a radiation sensor separated from the enclosure by one or more damping inserts, readout electronics configured to provide radiation detection event signals corresponding to incident ionizing radiation in the radiation sensor, and a cap comprising an internal interface configured to couple to the readout electronics and an external interface configured to couple to a radiation detector, wherein the cap is configured to hermetically seal the radiation sensor within the enclosure. Plated edges of the cap can be soldered to the enclosure to hermetically seal the radiation sensor within the enclosure.
