2. Machining Dimensions
Machining dimensions for the mounting hole required
for installation of the microstrip to K female flange
mount connector are provided in Figure 5 on the re-
verse side.
CAUTION
The four holes shown in Note 2 of Figure 5
must be concentric within
±
0.038 mm. If they
are not, connector performance will be de-
graded. To make this required concentricity
easier to achieve, custom-made drill-bit kits,
Models 01-104 and 01-108, are available from
Anritsu.
3. Fabrication Instructions
Fabrication instructions for the sparkplug connector
assembly are provided below. Figures 1 and 2 identify
