How to Separate a Connection
To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surfaces, always support the
devices and connections.
CAUTION: Do not turn the device body. Only turn the connector nut. Damage to the centre
conductor can occur if the device body is twisted. When disconnecting a sliding load, leave the
centre conductor pullback handle in the locked position.
•
Use the combi-wrench to prevent the device body from turning.
•
Use torque wrench to loosen the connecting nut.
•
Complete the separation by hand, turning only the connecting nut.
•
Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting, rocking, or bending either of the connectors.
Connecting Air Lines
This calibration kit comes with unbeaded Air Lines. This means that the outer conductors do not
hold the inner conductors resulting in the best Air Line performance but with a more delicate
handling when connecting Air Lines.
The following procedure describes how to connect an Air Line. In this example one side of the Air
Line will be connected to a test port adapter close to the VNA test port and the other side to a test
port cable. The test port adapter shows a female RPC-2.92 connector and the test port cable a
male RPC-2.92 connector. When handling the Air Line wearing gloves is recommended to avoid
pollution by sweat and it minimizes heat transfer.
•
Carefully connect the inner conductor of the Air Line with the male side to the female test
port adapter. Insert it in a straight line with the inner conductor of the test port adapter. A
first resistance can be felt when the center pin of the center Air Line conductor widens the
female contacts fingers of the test port adapter. After this is overcome the center Air Line
conductor slides until the second resistence can be felt. Stop immediately, the center
conductor is now in its final position.
