Connecting And Disconnecting The Two-Piece Female Open (85032B); How To Separate A Connection - Keysight Technologies 85032B User's And Service Manual

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Connections
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.
6. Tighten the connection just to the torque wrench break point. The wrench handle gives way at its
internal pivot point. See
CAUTION You don't have to fully break the handle of the torque wrench to reach the specified torque;
doing so can cause the handle to kick back and loosen the connection. Any give at all in the
handle is sufficient torque.
Do not pivot the wrench handle on your thumb or other fingers, otherwise you apply an unknown
amount of torque to the connection when the wrench reaches its break point.
Do not twist the head of the wrench relative to the outer conductor mating plane. If you do, you apply
more than the recommended torque.

Connecting and Disconnecting the Two-Piece Female Open (85032B)

The female open standard in the 85032B calibration kit is composed of two parts: the open body (outer
conductor) and the center conductor extender. Refer to
Figure 3-7 Connecting the Two-Piece Female Open
To connect the female open:
1. Connect the open body to the male test port.
2. Insert the center conductor extender into the hole at the end of the body and push gently until the
center conductors mate.
To disconnect the female open:
1. Remove the center conductor extender by pulling gently outwards without twisting, rocking, or bending
the extender or the body.
2. Disconnect the body from the test port.

How to Separate a Connection

To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surfaces, always support the devices and
connections.
