General Information
Clarifying the Terminology of a Connector Interface
Clarifying the Terminology of a Connector Interface
In this document and in the prompts of the PNA calibration wizard, the gender
of cable connectors and adapters is referred to in terms of the center
conductor. For example, a connector or device designated as 1.85 mm –f– has
a 1.85 mm female center conductor.
A connector gage is referred to in terms of the connector that it measures. For
instance, a male connector gage has a female connector on the gage so that it
can measure male devices.
Preventive Maintenance
The best techniques for maintaining the integrity of the devices in this kit
include:
— routine visual inspection
— cleaning
— proper gaging
— proper connection techniques
All of these are described in
Chapter 3, “Use, Maintenance, and Care of the
Devices.” Failure to detect and remove dirt or metallic particles on a mating
plane surface can degrade repeatability and accuracy and can damage any
connector mated to it. Improper connections, resulting from pin depth values
being out of specification (see Table 2-2 on page 2-4 ), or from bad connection
techniques, can also damage these devices.
