Connecting and Disconnecting the Two-Piece Female Open (85036B)

The female open standard in the 85036B calibration kit is composed of two parts: the open body (outer conductor) and the center conductor extender. Refer to Figure 3-4.

Figure 3-4 Connecting the Two-Piece Female Open

To connect the female open:

1.Connect the open body to the male test port.

2.Insert the center conductor extender into the hole at the end of the body and push gently until the center conductors mate.

To disconnect the female open:

1.Remove the center conductor extender by pulling gently outwards without twisting, rocking, or bending the extender or the body.

2.Disconnect the body from the test port.

How to Separate a Connection

To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surfaces, always support the devices and connections.

CAUTION Turn the connector nut, not the device body. Major damage to the center conductor can occur if the device body is twisted.

1.Use an open-end wrench to prevent the device body from turning.

2.Use another open-end wrench to loosen the connector nut.

3.Complete the separation by hand, turning only the connector nut.

4.Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting, rocking, or bending either of the connectors.
