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 3-8 explains how to use gages to determine if the kit devices
have maintained their mechanical integrity. Refer to Table 2-2, “Connector Pin Depths,” for
allowable recession.
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 conditions:
•
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.
