Gaging Technique
CAUTION
Remove the collet when gaging 7 mm connectors.
1. Connect and torque the device being measured to the gage.
2. Gently tap the barrel of the gage with your finger to settle the gage reading.
3. Type-N and 7mm: Read the gage indicator dial. If the needle has moved clockwise, the
center conductor is protruding by an amount indicated by the black numbers. If the
needle has moved counterclockwise, the center conductor is recessed by an amount
indicated by the red numbers.
3.5 mm and 2.4 mm: Read the gage indicator dial. Read only the black ± signs; not the
red ± signs.
4. For maximum accuracy, measure the connector a minimum of three times and take an
average of the readings. After each measurement, rotate the gage a quarter-turn to
reduce measurement variations that result from the gage or the connector face not
being exactly perpendicular to the center axis.
5. Compare the average reading with the observed pin depth limits in the tables located in
"Typical Pin Depth Values" on page 5-15
4-14
for each type of connector.
