Maury A034E

Maury's connector gage kits provide an easy to use, direct reading, self-checking, and accurate way to measure the critical linear interface dimensions of most coaxial connectors. These kits consist of gages with specially adapted dial indicators, plus the correct bushings and pins needed to mate with specified connectors. A master setting gage is used to adjust the dial indicator to zero, before a push-on or thread-on gage is mated with a connector to measure the distance from a given interface (female or male contact location) to the outer conductor mating plane.

The Maury model A034E connector gage kit is designed to measure 2.92/3.5mm connectors with either female or male interfaces. For simplicity, the rest of this manual will refer to measuring in inches. The Maury A034E connector gage kit achieves excellent repeatability by maintaining tightly controlled tolerances on all machined parts. To achieve maximum accuracy, Maury recommends that an average of 3 measurements taken at different gage orientations be used to minimize random errors.

The Maury model A034E1 measures female connectors and A034E2 measures male connectors these gage assemblies use a “thread-on” design that simulates actual mating conditions, allowing high accuracy measurements and hands-free operation. The connector gage assemblies are initially set to zero using master setting gages, A034E3 (female) or A034E4 (male), permitting measurements to be read directly on the indicator. Centering sleeves are provided for measuring beadless air lines and mismatch air lines. Flush setting sliding loads is easily accomplished using the A034E. The thread-on design of the A034E also allows more convenient and accurate measurements of network analyzer test ports.
