None of these affect electrical or mechanical performance If a connector shows deep scratches or dents particles clinging tothe mating plane surfaces or uneven wear clean and inspect it again Devices with damaged connectors should be discarded Determine the cause of damage before connecting a new undamaged connector in the same configuration 85036B E 3 3 Use Maintenance and Care of the Devices Cleaning Connectors Inspect the Precision Slotless Connectors female Precision slotless female connectors are used toimprove accuracy The slotless contacts are not affected by the slight variations in male contact pin diameter However it is still advisable to inspect them regularly for damage NOTE Inspection is particularly important when mating nonprecision to precision devices Cleaning Connectors Clean connectors are essential for ensuring the integrity of RF and microwave coaxial connections 1 Use Compressed Air or Nitrogen WARNING Always use protective eyewear when using compressed air or nitrogen Use compressed air or nitrogen to loosen particles on the connector mating plane surfaces You can use any source of clean dry low pressure compressed air or nitrogen that has an effective oil vapor filter and liquid condensation trap placed just before the outlet hose Ground the hose nozzle to prevent electrostatic discharge and set the air pressure to less than 414 kPa 60 psi to control the velocity of t
7. Opens and Shorts The opens and shorts are built from parts that are machined tothe current state of the art precision machining The short s inner conductors have a one piece construction common with the shorting plane This construction provides for extremely repeatable connections The female open has a separate piece inner conductor that is made from a low dielectric constant plastic to minimize compensation values Both the opens and shorts are constructed so that the pin depth can be controlled very tightly thereby minimizing phase errors Some of the opens and shorts have offsets The lengths of these offsets are designed sothat the difference in phase of their reflection coefficients is approximately 180 degrees at all frequencies 1 2 85036B E General Information Calibration Kit Overview Adapters Like the other devices in the kit the adapters are built to very tight tolerances to provide good broadband performance The adapters utilize a dual beaded connector structure to ensure stable repeatable connections The beads are designed to minimize return loss and are separated far enough so that interaction between the beads is minimized The adapters are designed sothat their nominal electrical lengths are the same which allows them to be used in calibration procedures for non insertable devices Calibration Definitions The calibration kit must be selected and the calibration definitions for the devices in the kit install
