The MuonPi HAT board is a plug-on board for Raspberry-Pi minicomputers exhibiting a 40-pin GPIO-connector. Only place the board on the RPi with power disconnected. Use 13 mm long plastic spacers and 2.5mm metric screws to fix the board.
Cable Connections
The preamp attached to the photosensor PCB and the detector has two connections: One for the provision of the SiPM bias voltage (27...32V for KETEK-type SiPMs) and one for the output signal. Both connectors are u.Fl-type coaxial receptacles with the same counterparts on the MuonPi board. They should be connected with standard u.Fl coaxial cables which are widely available (eg. at Amazon, Ebay or AliExpress]).
