HCL Adapter Mounts FiberPort to HeNe Laser
Mounting Details
  • Attaches to Lasers That Have Industry-Standard, 4-40 or M3 Four-Bolt Patterns
  • Central Bore with C-Mount Threading
  • Mounting Cap Screws with 4-40 and M3 Threading Included
  • Four 2-56 Screws Included for Attaching a FiberPort

The HCL Adapter allows a FiberPort to be directly attached to the front of a standard cylindrical HeNe laser (mechanical drawing shown below). Equipped with a four-bolt pattern on 1" centers, the adapter comes with the necessary 4-40 and M3 cap screws for attaching it to the HeNe laser body, as well as the additional four cap screws needed to attach a FiberPort. The four-bolt pattern on the HCL accommodates both the M3-threaded Ø1.38" (Ø34.9 mm) and 4-40-threaded Ø1.47" (Ø36 mm) standards. For added mounting options, the HCL also has internal C-Mount (1.000"-32) threading, which is utilized on some lasers.

For cylindrical lasers, the 2.0 mm focal length PAF2-2A and 4.6 mm focal length PAF2-5A FiberPorts, which are compatible with the HCL, are recommended. For more information, please see the Selection Guide tab on our FiberPorts page.
