Figure 3-3 Concentricity - Male Connector
Mating Plane Surfaces
Flat contact between the connectors at all points on their mating plane
surfaces is required for a good connection.
Look for deep scratches or dents, and for dirt and metal particles on the
connector mating plane surfaces. Also look for “dings” on the mating plane
surfaces of the center and outer conductors, and for signs of damage due to
misalignment, and excessive or uneven wear.
A light burnishing of the mating plane surfaces is normal. This is evident as
light scratches, or shallow circular marks distributed more or less uniformly
over the mating plane surface. Other small defects and cosmetic imperfections
are also normal. None of these affect electrical or mechanical performance.
Clean and inspect the connector again if it shows:
•
Deep scratches or dents
•
Particles clinging to the mating plane surfaces
•
Uneven wear
Damaged connectors should be discarded or sent for repair. Try to determine
the cause of damage before connecting a new, undamaged connector in the
same configuration. Magnification is of great use in analyzing the nature and
cause of damaged connectors.
