Preventive Maintenance
The best techniques for maintaining the integrity of the devices in this
kit include:
• routine visual inspection
• cleaning
• proper gauging
• proper connection techniques
Failure to detect and remove dirt or metallic particles on a connector
mating plane surface can degrade repeatability and accuracy, and can
damage any connector mated to it.
Improper connections, resulting from pin depth values being out of the
"Observed Pin Depth Limits" (see
Table 2-3
through
Table
2-8), or from
using poor connection techniques, can also damage these devices.
Visual inspection, cleaning and proper connection techniques, along
with proper gauging for pin depth, are all described in this chapter.
