Connector Care
The NI 5632 is a high-accuracy precision laboratory device and should be carefully handled.
Follow the precautions listed in this section when handling or connecting devices. Complying
with these precautions guarantees longer component life and lower equipment downtime
because of connector or device failure.
Tighten Connectors Without Rotating the Center Pin
Never tighten the connectors, adapters, or cables such that the center pin rotates. Damage
occurs to the mating plane surfaces if the center pin rotates.
Avoid Touching Connectors with Bare Hands
Avoid touching connector mating planes with bare hands. Natural skin oils and microscopic
dirt particles are difficult to remove.
Observe Pin Depth of Mating Connectors
Make sure to use the proper connectors to mate with the NI 5632. NI recommends that you use
precision or instrument or metrology grade Type-K, 2.92 mm, 3.5 mm, or SMA connectors.
