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
the connector parts. Refer to these figures while per-
forming the following steps.
a. Install the microstrip into the housing. Refer to
Figure 3 for dimensional tolerances around the
glass bead.
b. Set the hot plate to 200°±10°C for SN62, or 310°
±10°C for AuSn solder.
c. Flux the glass bead and insert it, long-end first,
into the 01-103 Glass Bead Holding Fixture (Fig-
ure 4).

d. Using the holding fixture to handle the bead,
screw the bead into the mounting hole opening
until the center conductor protrudes through the
backside interface and contacts the microstrip.
e. Insert a length of solder into the soldering access
hole and cut it flush with the top of the hole.
f. Place the device on the hot plate and leave it
there for approximately 15 seconds after the sol-
der melts.
g. Remove the device from the hot plate and allow it
to cool.
h. Bond or solder the center conductor to the
microstrip. Use a minimum amount of solder.
i. Remove the glass support bead holding fixture,
and clean the device to remove any flux residue.
CAUTION
Avoid cleaning fluids containing halogenated
and aromatic hydrocarbons (Freonâ). These
compounds may soften or dissolve the
PPO/Teflon bead material in the center pin sup-
port bead.
j. Screw the sparkplug assembly into the tapped
mounting hole and torque to 1.7 to 2.0 N-meter
using the 01-105A Torquing Tool Kit.
