  • Page 17 Keysight 85053B 3.5 mm Verification Kit User’s and Service Guide Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Electrostatic Discharge Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while connecting, inspecting, or cleaning connectors attached to a static-sensitive circuit (such as those found in test sets). Static electricity can build up on your body and can easily damage sensitive internal circuit elements when discharged.

  • Page 19: Visual Inspection

    Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Visual Inspection Visual Inspection Visual inspection and, if necessary, cleaning should be done every time a connection is made. Metal particles from the connector threads may fall into the connector when it is disconnected. Devices with damaged connectors should be immediately discarded or clearly marked and set aside for repair.

  • Page 20: Inspect Female Connectors

    Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Visual Inspection Light burnishing of the mating plane surfaces is normal, and is evident as light scratches or shallow circular marks distributed more or less uniformly over the mating plane surface. Other small defects and cosmetic imperfections are also normal.

  • Page 23: Gaging Connectors

    Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Gaging Connectors Gaging Connectors The gages available from Keysight 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.

  • Page 25: Gaging Procedures

    Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Gaging Connectors Gaging Procedures Gaging 3.5 mm Connectors Always hold a connector gage by the gage barrel, below the dial indicator. This gives the best stability, and improves measurement accuracy. (Cradling the gage in your hand or holding it by the dial applies stress to the gage plunger mechanism through the dial indicator housing.) 1.
  • Page 26 Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Gaging Connectors 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.

Refer to Table 6-3 on page 5 for part number and ordering information.

  • Page 34: Connecting The Airline

    Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Connections Figure 3-7 Using the Torque Wrench 3. Apply downward force perpendicular to the wrench handle. This applies torque to the connection through the wrench. Do not hold the wrench so tightly that you push the handle straight down along its length rather than pivoting it, otherwise you apply an unknown amount of torque.
  • Page 35 Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Connections 2. Remove the protective end cap from the female end (the end without the connecting nut) of the airline. 3. Leave the protective end cap on the male end of the airline to prevent the center conductor from falling out of the outer conductor.

  • Page 36: How To Separate A Connection

    Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Connections 6. Push the airline's female coupling sleeve forward and turn the connecting nut (of the adapter attached to the cable) to mate the outer conductor of the airline with the adapter. Connect the nut finger tight. Do not overtighten.
