Gauge Kits are used to check or measure the connector gauge of calibration standards, adapters, test port adapter and cables for protrusion or recession of connector pins with RPC-7. A protruding connector pin may mechanically damage the counterpart it is connected to, while significant recession in an RF connection degrades the RF performance.

Gauge Kit 07GK001-010 3.1.2 Gauges The Rosenberger gauges are of screw-on type in plug and jack version. They can be used to gauge calibration standards as well as test ports, test port cables, adapters and DUTs. Naming convention: A “gauge plug” (male) is used to measure a DUT with plug (male) connector. The gauge itself has a jack (female) connector and needs a gauge block with plug (male) connector.

Gauge Kit 07GK001-010 Figure 3-1 shows a set of gauge and gauge blocks for the RPC-7 connector. When the gauge block is connected to the gauge a zero reading should be indicated and both pointers show values close to “0”.

Recession is the condition in which the centre conductor is set back from the outer conductor mating plane. The amount of unwanted reflections is directly proportional to the pin depth. Pin depth limits are defined for all calibration standards in the specific data sheets. Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik GmbH & Co. KG Tel. : +49 8684 18-0 Page P.O.Box 1260...
