Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Cables

Precision Slotless Connectors (3.5 mm)

The female 3.5 mm connectors in the cable sets are metrology-grade, precision slotless

connectors (PSC). Precision slotless connectors are used to improve accuracy. A

characteristic of metrology-grade connectors is directly traceability to national

measurement standards through their well-defined mechanical dimensions. With PSCs on

test ports and standards, the accuracy achieved when measuring at 50 dB return loss

levels is comparable to using conventional slotted connectors measuring devices having

only 30 dB return loss. This represents an accuracy improvement of about 10 times.

Conventional female center conductors are slotted and, when mated, are flared by the male

pin. Because physical dimensions determine connector impedance, this change in physical

dimension affects electrical performance, making it very difficult to perform precision

measurements with conventional slotted connectors.

The precision slotless connector was developed to eliminate this problem. The PSC has a

center conductor with a solid cylindrical shell, the outside diameter of which does not

change when mated. Instead, the center conductor has an internal contact that flexes to

accept the male pin.
