4. Visual Inspection Visual Inspection Visual inspection and if necessary cleaning should be done every time a connection is made Metal particles from the connector threads may fall into the connector when it is disconnected One connection made with a dirty or damaged connector can damage both connectors beyond repair Magnification is helpful when inspecting connectors but it is not required and may actually be misleading Defects and damage that cannot be seen without magnification generally have no effect on electrical or mechanical performance Magnification is of great use in analyzing the nature and cause of damage and in cleaning connectors but it is not required for inspection Look for Obvious Defects and Damage First Examine the connectors first for obvious defects and damage badly worn plating on the connector interface deformed threads or bent broken or misaligned center conductors Connector nuts should move smoothly and be free of burrs loose metal particles and rough spots What Causes Connector Wear Connector wear is caused by connecting and disconnecting the devices The more use a connector gets the faster it wears and degrades The wear is greatly accelerated when connectors are not kept clean or are connected incorrectly Connector wear eventually degrades performance of the device Calibration devices should have a long life if their use is on the order of a few times per week Replace devices with wo
