This is a mount designed for the Hamamatsu C10508-01 Avalanche Photodiode (APD) module. The purpose of the mount is twofold: 1) to enable the integration of the APD module into optomechanical setups; and 2) to provide a protective cover for the device's electronics to help prevent electrostatic discharge that could damage the device.
The mount also has Voronoi pattern vents on the underside, to conserve filament and prevent overheating of the APD.

Optomechanical Mounting: The mount includes a central hole suitable for M6 or 1/4-20 bolts (or, with a washer, M4 or #8-32 bolts). This allows for easy attachment to optomechanical hardware or optical benches, facilitating the inclusion of the APD module in various optical experiments.
Mount Attachment: The mount is affixed to the APD module using M3 standoffs with 5 mm hex posts, like these. The design includes snug-fitting sockets for the hex posts of the standoffs, ensuring a secure connection as well as easy removal while keeping the standoffs connected to the APD. The screw side of each standoff passes through the APD breadboard, and an M3 nut is used to secure it in place.
Assembly:
- Slide the 5 mm hex posts of the M3 standoffs into the corner sockets on the mount. This ensures the hex posts are aligned to the mount when they are affixed to the APD.
- Place APD onto mount, passing the threaded bolts of the standoffs through the holes on the APD breadboard.
- Tighten M3 nuts onto the standoff threaded bolts.
- To attach the mount to optomechanical components, access the center bolt hole by sliding the APD with attached standoffs off of the mount.
