PRECAUTIONS

APPENDIX C

Pin-Depth Tolerance The center pin of a precision connector has a tolerances measured in mils (one mil = 1/1000 inch). The connectors of test devices may not be precision types and they may not have the proper pin-depth. These connectors should be measured before mating to ensure suitability.

When gauging pin depth, if the connector being measured indicates out of tolerance in the “+” region of the gauge (Table C-1), the center pin is too long. Mating under this condition will likely damage the mating connector. On the other hand, if the test device connector indi- cates out of tolerance in the “–” region, the center pin is too short. While this will not cause any damage, it will result in a poor connec- tion and a consequent degradation in performance.

Avoid Over Torquing Over-torquing connectors is destructive; it may damage the connector Connectors center pin. Finger-tight is usually sufficient, especially on Type N con-

nectors. Should it be necessary to use a wrench to tighten SMA or WSMA connectors, use a torque wrench that breaks at 8 inch-pounds. As a general rule, never use pliers to tighten connectors.

Teflon Tuning The center conductor on many precision connectors contains a small Washers teflon tuning washer located near the point of mating (interface). This

washer compensates for minor impedance discontinuities at the inter- face. The washer’s location is critical to the connector’s performance. Do not disturb it.

Avoid Mechanical Precision connectors are designed to withstand years of normal bench Shock handling. Do not drop or otherwise treat them roughly. They are labo- ratory-quality devices, and like other such devices, they require care-

ful handling.

Keep Connectors The precise geometry that makes a precision connector’s high perfor- Clean mance possible can be disturbed by dirt and other contamination ad-
