Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Visual Inspection
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.
Inspect Female Connectors
The 1.0 mm slotted female connector is designed and fabricated to meet and
exceed the performance requirements of an instrument-grade connector. In
order to maintain this performance level, the female contacts of each device
should be inspected prior to use. Refer to Figure 3-2 on page 3-5 . Make sure
that the contacts are formed symmetrically. The outside edge of the contacts
must be very sharp. Also, the center conductor must be free of nicks,
scratches, and dings.
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,
“ Replaceable Parts”, on page 2 and page 7-3
Inspection of connectors is particularly important when mating
nonprecision to precision devices.
