Mechanical Characteristics; Center Conductors - Agilent Technologies 85051B User's And Service Manual

Mechanical Characteristics

Mechanical characteristics such as center conductor protrusion and airline dimensions are not warranted
performance specifications. They are, however, important supplemental characteristics related to electrical
performance. Agilent Technologies verifies the mechanical characteristics of the devices in this kit with
special gaging processes and electrical testing. This ensures that the device connectors do not exhibit any
improper pin depth when the kit leaves the factory.

Center Conductors

In 7 mm connectors, the maximum allowable protrusion of the center conductor with the center conductor
collet in place is 0.015 inches. The minimum protrusion required is 0.002 inches.

NOTE The factory uncertainty of the numbers given in the following table is less than ±0.0001 inch.
Gage accuracy is also ±0.0001 inch.
