Care and Maintenance
Output Port Adapters
Ruggedized adapter:
—
1 mm to 1.00 mm Y1900B/C/D adapter
This adapter can be connected to the U9361M output port. Due to the physical requirements
needed to obtain high performance, the geometry of these, as well as all, 1 mm connectors,
demands special care to avoid expensive damage as explained in this document.

Making RF Connections
1. Work at a static-safe workstation.
2.
Visually inspect the connectors. If necessary, clean the connectors. Carefully align the
connectors. The male connector center pin must slip concentrically into the contact fingers
of the female connector.
3.
Push the connectors straight together.
4.
Tighten lightly using only your fingers as, at this point, all you want is a connection in which
the outer conductors make gentle contact at all points on both mating surfaces. Very light
finger pressure (no more than 2 pound-inches of torque) is enough.
Do not twist one connector into the other (like inserting a light bulb). This
happens if you turn the device body rather than the connector nut. Major
damage to the center conductor can occur if the device body is twisted.
5.
Use a torque wrench to make the final connection. This guarantees perfectly tight,
consistent connections that prevents connector damage.

The maximum torque setting is 4 in-lb (0.45 Nm) for non-ruggedized
1.0 mm connectors.
Rotate only the connector nut when you make the connection. Do not
rotate the cable or adapter.
