  • Page 24: Gaging Connectors

    Gaging Connectors Gaging Connectors The gages available from Agilent Technologies are intended for preventive maintenance and troubleshooting purposes only. They are effective in detecting excessive center conductor protrusion or recession, and conductor damage on DUTs, test accessories, and the calibration kit devices.Do not use the gages for precise pin depth measurements.

    If the center conductor protrudes, the indicator will move clockwise to indicate the amount of protrusion, which is read as a positive value. Figure 3-2 Reading the Connector Gage 85051B...

  • Page 26: Gaging Procedure

    For maximum accuracy, measure the connector a minimum of three times and take an average of the readings. After each measurement, rotate the gage a quarter-turn to reduce measurement variations that result from the gage or the connector face not being exactly perpendicular to the center axis. 85051B...
