    Appendix C — Connector Care Introduction This appendix provides instructions and discussion on the care and use of precision RF connectors. Connector Do’s and Don’ts • These are high frequency connectors so be gentle and handle them with care. • Avoid touching connector mating planes with bare hands. Natural skin oils and microscopic dirt particles are very hard to remove.

    There are some dimensions that are critical for the mechanical integrity, non-destructive mating and electrical performance of the connector. Connector gauge kits are available for many connector types. Please refer to Anritsu Application Note 10200-00040. The mechanical gauging of coaxial connectors will detect and prevent the following problems:...

    Appendix C — Connector Care C-6 Connector Cleaning Instructions Teflon Tuning Washers The center conductor on most RF components contains a small teflon tuning washer located near the point of mating (interface). This washer compensates for minor impedance discontinuities at the interface. The washer’s location is critical to the RF component’s performance.

    C-6 Connector Cleaning Instructions Appendix C — Connector Care Cleaning Procedure 1. Remove loose particles on the mating surfaces, threads, and similar surfaces using low-pressure compressed air. 2. The threads of the connector should be cleaned with cotton swab. When connector threads are clean, the connections can be hand-tightened to within approximately one-half turn of the proper torque.
