Principles of Microwave Connector Care

Proper connector care and connection techniques are critical for accurate, repeatable measurements.

Refer to the calibration kit documentation for connector care information. Prior to making connections to the network analyzer, carefully review the information about inspecting, cleaning and gaging connectors.

Haying good connector care and connection techniques extends the life of these devices. In addition, you obtain the most accurate measurements.

This type of information is typically located in Chapter 3 of the calibration kit manuals.

For additional connector care instruction, contact your local Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office about course numbers HP 8505OA + 24A and HP 8505OA + 24D.

See the following table for quick reference tips about connector care.

‘lhble 2-l. Connector Care Quick Reference

Extend sleeve or conuector nut Use plastic end-caps during storage

Inspect alI connectors carefully

Look for metal particles, scratches, and dents

se isopropyl alcohol Clean connector threads

Use the correct

Use correct end of calibration block Gage aU connectors before Ilrst use

Set connectors contact-end down

Get liquid into plastic support beads

		Making	connections
		Do		Do Not
	Align connectms	carefully		Apply bending force to connection
	Make preliminary	connection lightly		Over tighten preliminary connection
	Turn only the connector nut			Twist or screw any connection
	Use a torque wrench for fInal connect			Tighten past torque wrench “break” point
