Mechanical Characteristics
Mechanical characteristics such as center conductor protrusion and pin depth
are not warranted performance specifications. They are, however, important
supplemental characteristics related to electrical performance. Keysight
Technologies verifies the mechanical characteristics of the devices in this kit
with special gaging processes and electrical testing. This ensures that the
device connectors do not exhibit any improper pin depth when the kit leaves
the factory.
“Gaging Connectors” on page 7 explains how to use gages to determine if the
kit devices have maintained their mechanical integrity. Refer to Table 2-2 on
page 4 for typical and observed pin depth limits.
Pin Depth
Pin depth is the distance the center conductor mating plane differs from being
flush with the outer conductor mating plane. See Figure 2-1 . The pin depth of
a connector can be in one of two states: either protruding or recessed.
Protrusion is the condition in which the center conductor extends beyond the
outer conductor mating plane. This condition will indicate a positive value on
the connector gage.
Recession is the condition in which the center conductor is set back from the
outer conductor mating plane. This condition will indicate a negative value on
the connector gage.
