Assembly And Torquing - Tektronix 80E01 Manual

Assembly and Torquing

To properly perform assembly and torquing of
Overview connectors
Prerequisites 1. Ground yourself and all devices. Wear a grounded wrist
and precautions strap and work on a grounded, conductive table mat.
Also see Electrostatic Discharge on page 38. Refer to
the illustration at right.
2. Inspect connectors. See Visual Inspection on page 38.
3. If necessary, clean the connectors. See Cleaning
Connectors on page 39.
4. Use a connector gage to verify that all center conductors
are within the observed pin depth values.
5. For multiple connections, always put the fixed wrench
on the inside (stationary) half of a connection, and apply
torque to the outside movable half.
6. Always torque a single connection, never multiple
connections.
Torquing an 1. Carefully align connectors. Male connector pin must slip

2. Push the connectors straight together and tighten the
connector nut finger tight. Do not turn the device body.
There is usually a slight resistance as the center
conductors mate. Uniform, light contact is sufficient for
the preliminary connection; do not overtighten.
3. Ensure that the connectors are properly supported. As
needed, relieve any side pressure on the connection
from long or heavy devices or cables.

Good connections require a skilled operator. The most common cause of
measurement error is bad connections. The procedures in this section describe
how to make good connections.
