Measuring Connectors
Measuring the recession of the center conductor behind the outer conductor
mating plane in a connector is done in exactly the same way as zeroing the
gage, except of course that the
Set
button is not re-pressed when the
measurement, is made.
Hold the gage by the barrel only and tighten only the connecting nut (do not
turn the gage or the device) until finger tight. Recession or protrusion will show
as a reading either a negative or positive reading from zero. (See
).
Protrusion of center conductor shoulder (male pin and end of female center
pin) is not allowable on any 1.0 mm connector.
For maximum accuracy, measure the connector several times and take an
average of the readings.
Press the DATA button to
exit the Hold ("H") mode.
IMPORTANT!
Before you make a measurement, verify the gage is not
displaying
H
(Hold)or
REV
(Reverse). Refer to
