Gaging Connectors
The gages available from Agilent Technologies are intended for preventive maintenance
and troubleshooting purposes only. (See
information.) They are effective in detecting excessive center conductor protrusion or
recession, and conductor damage on test cables and other accessories, DUTs, and
calibration kit devices. Do not use the gages for precise pin depth measurements.
Connector Gage Accuracy
The connector gages are only capable of performing coarse measurements. They do not
provide the degree of accuracy necessary to precisely measure the pin depth of the cable
connectors. This is partially due to the repeatability uncertainties that are associated with
the measurement. Only the factory—through special gaging processes and electrical
testing— can accurately verify the mechanical characteristics of the cable connectors.
With proper technique, however, the gages are useful in detecting gross pin depth errors on
cable connectors. To achieve maximum accuracy, random errors must be reduced by taking
the average of at least three measurements having different gage orientations on the
connector. Even the resultant average can be in error by as much as ± 0.0001 inch due to
systematic (biasing) errors usually resulting from worn gages and gage masters. The
information in Table 2-3 on page 2-4 assumes new gages and gage masters. As your gages
undergo more use, their systematic errors can become more significant in the accuracy of
the measurement.
NOTE
When to Gage Connectors
Gage a connector at the following times:
• Prior to using a cable for the first time: record the pin depth measurement so that it can
• If either visual inspection or electrical performance suggests that the connector
• If a cable is used by someone else or on another system or piece of equipment.
• Initially after every 100 connections, and after that as often as experience indicates.

be compared with future readings. (It will serve as a good troubleshooting tool when you
suspect damage may have occurred to the cable connector.)
interface may be out of typical range (due to wear or damage, for example).
When measuring pin depth, the measured value (resultant average of three
or more measurements) contains measurement uncertainty and is not
necessarily the true value. Always compare the measured value with the
observed pin depth limits (which account for measurement uncertainties) in
Table 2 on page 2-4
to evaluate the condition of cable connectors.
