Input Port Adapters
Ruggedized adapter:
—1 mm to 1.00 mm Y1900B/C/D adapter
This adapter can be connected to the V3050A Input port. Due to the physical
requirements needed to obtain high performance, the geometry of these, as
well as all, 1 mm connectors, demands special care to avoid expensive damage
as explained in this document.

Making RF Connections
1.
Work at a static-safe workstation.
2.
Visually inspect the connectors. If necessary, clean the connectors.
Carefully align the connectors. The male connector center pin must slip
concentrically into the contact fingers of the female connector.
3.
Push the connectors straight together.
4.
Tighten lightly using only your fingers as, at this point, all you want is a
connection in which the outer conductors make gentle contact at all
points on both mating surfaces. Very light finger pressure (no more than 2
pound-inches of torque) is enough.
5.
Use a torque wrench to make the final connection. This guarantees
perfectly tight, consistent connections that prevents connector damage.

and
for Test Port connectors.
Do not twist one connector into the other (like inserting a light bulb). This
happens if you turn the device body rather than the connector nut. Major
damage to the center conductor can occur if the device body is twisted.
The maximum torque setting is 4 in-lb (0.45 Nm) for non-ruggedized
1.0 mm connectors.
