Agilent Technologies 85032B/E 50 manual Pin Depth Limit

Specifications

Mechanical Characteristics

NOTE	The gages for measuring type-N connectors compensate for the designed
	offset of 5.26 mm (0.207 inch), therefore, protrusion and recession readings
	are in relation to a zero reference plane (as if the inner and outer conductor
	planes were intended to be flush). Gage readings can be directly compared
	with the observed values listed in Table 2-2.

The pin depth value of each calibration device in this kit is not specified, but is an important mechanical parameter. The electrical performance of the device depends, to some extent, on its pin depth. The electrical specifications for each device in this kit take into account the effect of pin depth on the device’s performance. Table 2-2lists the typical pin depths and measurement uncertainties, and provides observed pin depth limits for the devices in the kit. If the pin depth of a device does not measure within the observed pin depth limits, it may be an indication that the device fails to meet electrical specifications. Refer to Figure 2-1for an illustration of pin depth in type-N connectors.

a.Approximately +2 sigma to −2 sigma of gage uncertainty based on studies done at the factory according to recommended procedures.

b.Observed pin depth limits are the range of observation limits seen on the gage reading due to measurement uncertainty. The depth could still be within specifications.
