Disconnection
To properly separate an RF connection:
1.
Use the same wrench usage technique as shown in
.
2.
Use one to prevent the connector body from turning. Use the other to loosen the connector nut.
3.
Complete the disconnection by hand, turning
only
the connector nut.
4.
Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting or bending.
Connector Types and Cross-Mating Compatibility
The following table lists RF connector characteristics and cross-mating compatibilities.
a.3.5 mm, 2.92 mm and K connectors are electrically compatible with SMA and have the same connector nut size (8 mm) and
torque requirement. Refer to
for connector compatibility information.
b.Although the 2.4 mm, 1.85 mm, and V connectors have the same connector nut size (8 mm) and torque requirement, they are
not mechanically compatible with 3.5 mm. Refer to
for connector compatibility information.
