Mating Connectors 

The Band 1 through Band 4 front panel in/out connectors are coaxial type female Super SMA 

sparkplug connectors (3.5 mm compatible) with a 50 

Ω  nominal  impedance.  The  rear  panel 

’Remote Read-out’ connector is a coaxial type BNC connector (0-2 VDC). The ’External 

Charger In’ rear panel connector is a 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm male barrel DC power connector, center 

positive. 

 

Replacing the ‘Sparkplug’ thread-in Connector 

 

The Band 1-4 female in/out sparkplug connector is ”field replaceable” if damaged during use.  

 

Tools required 

 

SMA Female ‘Sparkplug’ thread-in connectors, P/N 220-500SF, from Southwest Microwave, 

Tempe, AZ 85284 USA 

 

•

  Special installation/removal tool for thread-in connectors, P/N T-1020-1, from Southwest 

Microwave, Tempe, AZ 85284, USA 

•

  Two 5/16" (or 8 mm) open-end/box wrenches, to use with the tool above 

•

  Low-strength removable thread-locking fluid 

 

Thread-locking Fluid:

 A low-strength removable thread-locking fluid can be obtained from M.G. 

Chemicals, Toronto, Canada, Cat # 8701 (Mouser  P/N  590-8701-10ML). A second-source is 

Loctite RC/609. 

2.6.1  Procedure 

Caution must be exercised when removing and replacing the 'sparkplug' connector to ensure 

that the center conductor of the internal coax is not bent. The following instructions should be 

followed when replacing the sparkplug connector: 

2.6.2  Attaching the Installation/Removal Tool 

1.  Back the short part of the installation/removal tool out from the longer section by hand 

until it stops rotating. 

2.  While holding the tool by the longer section, thread the installation/removal tool onto the 

sparkplug connector by hand until it bottoms out. 

3.  While holding the tool by the longer section, back the connector out ½ turn by hand. 

4.  Holding the longer section stable, tighten the shorter section until it stops by hand. 

5.  Using the 5/16” open end wrench, carefully hold the longer section stable while 

tightening the shorter section with the other wrench. Be careful not to stress the 

sparkplug connector while performing this operation. 

2.6.3  Sparkplug Removal 

1.  Attach the installation/removal tool per the above instructions.
