Keysight 85059B Operation and Service Guide 3-7
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Visual Inspection
Devices with damaged connectors should be discarded or sent for repair.
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.
Inspect Female Connectors
Pay special attention to the contact fingers in the female center conductor.
These can be bent or broken, and damage to them is not always easy to see. A
connector with damaged contact fingers will negatively affect electrical
performance and must be replaced.
Supplies and Equipment Needed
The supplies and equipment needed to perform the cleaning procedure, and
their Keysight Technologies part numbers are listed in Table 7-1 on page 7-2
and page 7-3.
Inspection is particularly important when mating nonprecision to precision
devices.
