Principles of Microwave Connector Care

Principles of Microwave Connector Care

Proper connector care and connection techniques are critical for accurate, repeatable 
measurements.

Refer to the calibration kit documentation for connector care information. Prior to making 
connections to the network analyzer, carefully review the information about inspecting, 
cleaning, and gaging connectors.

Having good connector care and connection techniques extends the life of these devices. In 
addition, you obtain the most accurate measurements.

For additional connector care instruction, contact the nearest Agilent Technologies sales or 
service office about course numbers HP/Agilent 24A and 24D.

See the following table for quick reference tips about connector care.

Table 1-3

Connector Care Quick Reference

Handling and Storage

Do

Keep connectors clean

Do Not

Touch mating-plane surfaces

Extend sleeve or connector nut

Set connectors contact — end down

Use plastic end-caps during storage

Visual Inspection

Do

Inspect all connectors carefully

Do Not

Use a damaged connector — ever

Look for metal particles, scratches, 
and dents

Connector Cleaning

Do

Try compressed air first

Do Not

Use any abrasives

Use isopropyl alcohol

Get liquid into plastic support beads

Clean connector threads

Gaging Connectors

Do

Clean and zero the gage before use

Do Not

Use an out-of-spec connector

Use the correct gage type

Use correct end of calibration block

Gage all connectors before first use

Making Connections

Do

Align connectors carefully

Do Not

Apply bending force to connection

Make preliminary connection lightly

Over tighten preliminary connection

Turn only the connector nut

Twist or screw any connection

Use a torque wrench for final 
connect

Tighten past torque wrench “break” 
point
