Operating Instructions: Model A012G Connector Gage Kit (TNC/TNCA/BNC Connectors)

ABSTRACT: This is the operating instructions for the Maury Microwave model A012G Connector Gage Kit (TNC/TNCA/BNC Connectors). The Maury model A012G connector gage kit is designed to measure the contact pin and dielectric location of all commonly used TNC/TNCA/BNC connectors. Generally, the TNC and BNC connectors are the same except the TNC is a screw on connector and the BNC is a bayonet type. Checking the interface dimensions requires three measurements for each connector to ensure the proper location of the contact pin and dielectric. These locations must be maintained within specifications for good electrical performance and to avoid connector damage when mated. Figure 1 shows the interface dimensions measured with this A012G connector gage kit.
