If the connector is to be used on another item of equipment, the connector on the equipment to
be tested should also be gauged.
Connectors should never be forced together when making a connection since forcing often indi-
cates incorrectness and incompatibility. There are some dimensions that are critical for the me-
chanical integrity, non-destructive mating and electrical performance of the connector.
The mechanical gauging of coaxial connectors will detect and prevent the following problems:
Inner conductor protrusion
This may result in buckling of the socket contacts or damage to the internal structure of a
device due to the axial forces generated.
NOTE:
At no time should the pin depth of the connector be protruding
.
Inner conductor recession
This will result in poor reflection and possibly unreliable contact.
6.2.2 Gauging
There are no special Rosenberger gauges available for SMP connectors.
It is recommended to use a Caliper (e.g. Mitutoyo ID-F150H)
.
Checking devices for protrusion or excessive recession only a single measurement is sufficient.
More precise measurements or checking devices very close to critical limits should be done in
different orientations averaging up to 4 single measurements.
