3.1.2 Gauges
The Rosenberger gauges are of screw-on type in plug and jack version. They can be used to
gauge calibration standards as well as test ports, test port cables, adapters and DUTs.
Naming convention:
A “gauge plug” (male) is used to measure a DUT with plug (male) connector. The gauge itself has
a jack (female) connector and needs a gauge block with plug (male) connector. For a “gauge jack”
(female) all gender are vice versa.
Checking devices for protrusion or excessive recession only a single measurement is sufficient.
More precise measurements or checking devices very close to critical limits should be done in
different orientations averaging up to 4 single measurements.
When a gauge block is used to initially adjust the gauge a torque spanner should be used to
tighten up the connection to the correct torque.
3.1.3 Connector gauge measurement resolution
Because of connector gauge measurement resolution uncertainties (one small division on the dial)
and variations in measurement technique from user to user connector dimensions may be difficult
to measure (please avoid overlong sentences). Dirt and contamination can cause differences of
0.005 mm and, in addition, the way that the gauge is used can result in larger variations. When
using a gauge system for mechanical compliance testing of connectors carry out the following
procedure each time:
•Carefully inspect the connector to be tested and clean it if necessary.
•Clean and inspect the gauge and the gauge block.
•Carefully zero the gauge with the gauge block in place.
•Remove the gauge block.
•Measure the connector using the gauge and note the reading.
•Repeat the process (using several different orientations) at least once or more times as
necessary (averaging the results).
