Inner conductor recession 

 

This will result in poor reflection and possibly unreliable contact. 

 
 

6.2.2 Gauges 

 
The  Rosenberger  gauges  are  of  screw-on  type  in  plug  and  jack  version.  They  can  be  used  to 
gauge calibration standards as well as test ports, test port cables, adapters and DUTs.  
 
Naming convention:  
A “gauge plug” (male) is used to measure a DUT with plug (male) connector. The gauge itself has 
a jack (female) connector and needs a gauge block with plug (male) connector. For a “gauge jack” 
(female) all gender are vice versa. 
 
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. 
 
When  a  gauge  block  is  used  to  initially  adjust  the  gauge  a  torque  spanner  should  be  used  to 
tighten up the connection to the correct torque. 
 

6.2.3 Connector gauge measurement resolution 

 

Because of connector gauge measurement resolution uncertainties (one small division on the dial) 
and variations in measurement technique from user to user connector dimensions may be difficult 
to measure. Dirt and contamination can cause differences of 0.005 mm and, in addition, the way 
that the gauge is used can result in larger variations. When using a gauge system for mechanical 
compliance testing of connectors carry out the following procedure each time: 
 

  Carefully inspect the connector to be tested and clean it if necessary. 

  Clean and inspect the gauge and the gauge block. 

  Carefully zero the gauge with the gauge block in place. 

  Remove the gauge block. 

 

  Measure the connector using the gauge and note the reading. 

  Repeat the process at least once or more times as necessary. 

 

6.2.4 Gauge blocks 

 
Every connector gauge requires a gauge block that is used to zero the gauge before use. 
Figure 6-1 shows two sets of gauges and gauge blocks for the RPC-N 75 

 connector.
