Pin Depth
Pin depth is the distance the center conductor mating plane differs from being
flush with the outer conductor mating plane. See
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.

Connector Pin Depth
The pin depth value of each calibration device in the kit is not specified, but is
an important mechanical parameter. The electrical performance of the device
depends, to some extent, on its pin depth.
Keysight verifies the pin depth characteristics of the connectors in this kit with
special gaging processes and electrical testing. This ensures that the device
connectors do not exhibit any center conductor protrusion and have proper pin
depth when the kit leaves the factory.
At
no
time should the pin depth of the 1.0 mm connector be protruding.
