Making a Connection
This section provides connection and torquing instructions for making a repeatable connection and avoiding
damage to the connector.
Before Connection
1.
Verify the power and voltage levels of the device you are connecting to and the input limits of your test
equipment.
2.
Visually inspect the connectors for damage, cleanliness, and center pin concentricity as described in
The coupling nut should move freely. If necessary, clean the connectors
3.
Before touching instrument connectors, make sure you have grounded yourself and eliminated all static
charge by following proper ESD handling procedures that conform to ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007.
Initial Connection
1.
Carefully align the connectors as shown in
The male connector center pin must slip concentrically into the contact fingers of the female connector.
Never apply excessive force when making a connection.
2.
Push the connectors straight together.
3.
Do not twist while pushing them together and do not turn the connector body. As the center conductors
mate, there is usually a slight resistance. Finger-tighten the connection first by turning the connector
nut.
4.
Back off the connection by turning the connector nut counter clockwise 1/4 turn.The final tightening is
done using the appropriate torque wrench from the kit and as described in
Caution
Connectors should never be forced together when making a connection since forcing often indicates
incorrectness and incompatibility.
Use a torque wrench with the correct setting to tighten the connector. Over torquing connectors may
damage the connector center pin.
Never use pliers or adjustable wrenches to tighten connectors.

Do Not Use Pliers or Adjustable Wrenches
