3.2 Mounting

Housing
The PDF10C2 is housed in a rugged, shielded, 70.9 mm x 49.9 mm x 22.5 mm aluminum en-
closure.
Mounting PDF10C2 on an Optical Table
Mount the PDF10C2 on an optical post by using either of the two tapped mounting holes on the
side and bottom. The combi-thread tapped holes accept both 8-32 and M4 threads, such that
using either imperial or metric TR posts is possible.
Mounting External Optics
The PDF10C2 housing accommodates Thorlabs' SM05-threaded (0.535"-40) and SM1-
threaded (1.035"-40) adapters that are compatible with any number of Thorlabs 1" and ½"
threaded accessories. This allows to mount external optics, filters, apertures, fiber adapters,
lens tubes, or cage systems. For accessories, please visit our website or contact
The PDF10C2 comes with an SM1T1 SM1 coupler that adapts the external thread to an SM1
internal thread. A retaining ring in the coupler holds the protective cover cap. Please unscrew
the coupler if needed.

Ensure that the correct mains voltage is selected on the
