Zusammenfassung:	A demountable thermal coupling for engaging a refrigeration unit with a cryogenic device includes a collet assembly which is slidingly mounted against a retainer ring in the passageway of a sleeve assembly. When the refrigeration unit is engaged with the sleeve assembly, the collet assembly closes onto a cooling probe of the refrigeration unit to establish a thermal contact between the cooling probe and the collet assembly. An interconnect between the collet and the superconducting device then allows the cooling probe to cool the superconducting device. Withdrawal of the cooling probe from the collet disengages the refrigeration unit from the superconducting device.
