    If solder is used, it is important to control the volume of the solder flow to match the size of the NOTE launch pin and the signal trace. Be careful to avoid too much solder (capacitive) or too little (inductive). Figure 3-3 Circuit mounting detail Keysight 11923A Operating and Service Manual...

    Connector wear eventually degrades performance. The more use a connector gets, the faster it wears and degrades. The wear is greatly accelerated when connectors are not kept clean. When your connectors become worn, replace them. Keysight 11923A Operating and Service Manual...
  • Page 30: Pin Depth

    The electrical performance of the connector depends, to some extent, on its pin depth. The electrical specifications take into account the effect of pin depth on the performance of the connector.
