Clarifying the Terminology of a Connector Interface
In this document and in the prompts of the PNA calibration wizard, the sex of
cable connectors and adapters is referred to in terms of the center conductor.
For example, a connector or device designated as 1.0 mm –f– has a 1.0 mm
female center conductor.
Preventive Maintenance
The best techniques for maintaining the integrity of the devices in this kit
include:
— routine visual inspection
— cleaning
— proper pin depth
— proper connection techniques
All of the above are described in
Chapter 4, “Maintenance and Support.”
.
Failure to detect and remove dirt or metallic particles on a mating plane
surface can degrade repeatability and accuracy and can damage any
connector mated to it. Improper connections, resulting from pin depth values
being out of the
typical
limits (see
), or from bad connections, can
also damage these devices.
