Making Connections
Making Connections
Good connections require a skilled operator.
The most common cause of measurement error
is bad connections.
The following procedures illustrate how to make good connections.
How to Make a Connection
Preliminary Connection
1. Ground yourself and all devices. Wear a grounded wrist strap and work on a grounded,
conductive table mat. Refer to
“Electrostatic Discharge” on page 3-2
for ESD
precautions.
2. Visually inspect the connectors. Refer to
“Inspecting Connectors” on page 3-3
3. If necessary, clean the connectors. Refer to
“Cleaning Connectors” on page 3-5
4. Use a connector gage to verify that all center conductors are within the observed pin
depth values in
. Refer to
“Gaging Connectors” on page 3-7
5. Carefully align the connectors. The male connector center pin must slip concentrically
into the contact finger of the female connector.
6. Push the connectors straight together and tighten the connector nut finger-tight.
CAUTION
Do
not
turn the device body. Only turn the connector nut. Damage to the
center conductor can occur if the device body is twisted.
Do
not
twist or screw the connectors together. As the center conductors mate, there is
usually a slight resistance.
7. The preliminary connection is tight enough when the mating plane surfaces make
uniform, light contact. Do not overtighten this connection.
A connection in which the outer conductors make gentle contact at all points on both
mating surfaces is sufficient. Very light finger pressure is enough to accomplish this.
8. Make sure the connectors are properly supported. Relieve any side pressure on the
connection from long or heavy devices or cables.
Final Connection Using a Torque Wrench
Use a torque wrench to make a final connection.
