Repairing A Slotless Contact
Introduction If you suspect a problem with the slotless contact, make a visual
inspection to determine if there is damage. As you use a connector,
dirt and metal particles can accumulate in and around the slotless
contact. In extreme cases this accumulation can render the contact
non-functional. Often, simply cleaning the contact xes the problem.
This chapter provides procedures on how to clean both the inner
contact and the center conductor, how to reinstall the inner contact,
and how to test for functionality. Also provided is a procedure on
how to replace the inner contact.
Repairing a damaged slotless contact is a six-step process:
1. Gage the connector. Because connector mechanical tolerances can
be very precise (on the order of a few hundredths of microinches),
even a perfectly clean, unused connector can cause trouble if it
is mechanically out of speci cation. If the pin depth is out of
speci cation, the connector is damaged beyond the capabilities of
this repair kit, and the device must be repaired or replaced by
Agilent Technologies.
CAUTION Never use an out-of-speci cation connector.
2. Under x10 magni cation, inspect the connector to determine the
damage.
3. Remove the damaged inner contact.
4. Inspect the center conductor. If it is undamaged, clean it.
5. Install the replacement inner contact.
6. Test the slotless contact.
Slotless Contact Repair Repairing A Slotless Contact 2-1
Inspecting A
Inspect the contact under x10 magni cation to de ne the problem.
Damaged Slotless Usually you can make the repair without disassembling the device to
which the precision slotless contact is attached.
Contact
Inspect the slotless contact to see if any of the following conditions
exist:
The inner contact has one or more ngers bent inward or crushed,
preventing proper contact to the male pin (see Figure 2-1).
If so, go to step 1 of \Removing A Slotless Contact."
The inner contact has one or more ngers broken (see Figure 2-2).
If so, go to step 2 of \Removing A Slotless Contact."
The inner contact is pushed inside the center conductor and will
not make contact with the mating connector's male pin (see
Figure 2-3).
If so, go to step 3 of \Removing A Slotless Contact."
The end of the center conductor is dented or scraped near where it
touches the inner contact (see Figure 2-4).
If so, the slotless contact may be damaged beyond the capabilities
of this repair kit, and the device must be repaired or replaced by
Agilent Technologies.

Removing A Slotless
Contact
Step 1 If one or more of the inner contact's ngers are bent inward or
crushed, you must straighten or remove those ngers before you
remove the entire inner contact. Figure 2-5 shows both the inner
contact and the center conductor.
Figure 2-5. The Inner Contact and Center Conductor
a. Under magni cation, carefully try to insert the removal tool (see
Figure 2-6).
b. If the damaged ngers prevent you from inserting the tool, use the
tweezers provided to either move aside or remove the damaged
ngers (see Figure 2-7).
CAUTION Avoid damaging the center conductor, which houses the inner
contact. Do not touch the tweezers to anything but the damaged
inner contact. Do not, under any circumstances, use anything to
squeeze or clamp on to the center conductor that might cause
damage.
c. After you move or remove the damaged inner contact ngers and
can insert the inner contact removal tool, go to step 3.
2-4 Repairing A Slotless Contact Slotless Contact Repair
Figure 2-6. Inserting the Removal Tool
Figure 2-7. Moving a Damaged Finger
Step 2 If one or more of the inner contact's ngers are broken, you must
remove that nger before you remove the entire inner contact:
a. Under magni cation, look down inside the inner contact and
locate the broken nger or ngers.
The ngers may have already fallen out. If so, continue with
step 3.
b. If you can see the broken ngers inside the inner contact, turn the
device upside down and gently tap on it (see Figure 2-8).
Using this gentle tapping, try to force the broken ngers to drop
out or at least move forward far enough so that you can remove
them with the tweezers (see Figure 2-9). Do not, under any
circumstances, use anything other then gentle tapping.
c. After you remove the broken inner contact ngers and can
carefully insert the inner contact removal tool, go to step 3.

Figure 2-8. Freeing a Broken Contact Finger
Figure 2-9. Removing a Broken Contact Finger
Step 3 If the inner contact is pushed inward and no longer makes contact
with the mating connector's male pin, you must remove and replace
the inner contact:
a. Under magni cation, insert the removal tool into the damaged
contact far enough so that it touches the bottom of the inside of
the inner contact.
b. Turn the tool clockwise to engage the tool coupling thread with
the thread on the inside of the contact (see Figure 2-10).
c. Occasionally the inner contact spins with the tool, preventing the
tool from engaging. If this happens, apply a small amount axial
pressure to the tool and continue to turn it clockwise.
2-6 Repairing A Slotless Contact Slotless Contact Repair
d. Once the tool is engaged by 2 turns, you can remove the inner
contact. Pull the tool and inner contact straight out away from
the center conductor (see Figure 2-11).
CAUTION Do not damage the center conductor as you remove the inner
contact.
e. Unthread the broken inner contact from the removal tool and
discard the contact; it cannot be repaired or reused.

Inspecting and
Cleaning A Center
Conductor
Inspecting 1. Under magni cation, inspect the center conductor for damage.
2. Refer to Figure 2-12. Is the center conductor gouged? Does it
have any imperfection that would interfere with the insertion of a
new inner contact? If so, you must return the device to Agilent
Technologies for repair; you cannot repair a center conductor with
this kit.
3. If the center conductor is undamaged, or if the damage is too light
to aect device performance, clean the center conductor.
Figure 2-12. Damaged Center Conductor
Cleaning 1. Under magni cation, look for loose dirt or metal particles.
2. Using the foam swabs and isopropyl alcohol provided in this repair
kit, clean the center conductor.
3. Using a source of dry air or nitrogen, blow out the hole in the
center conductor; be sure that all the alcohol evaporates.
4. The clean center conductor is now ready for you to insert a new
inner contact.
2-8 Repairing A Slotless Contact Slotless Contact Repair
Inserting An Inner When you install a replacement inner contact, be careful handling
Contact the replacement parts. These parts are fragile until they are inside
the center conductor; do not squeeze or misuse them in any way.
1. Using the tweezers provided in this kit, carefully pick up a new
inner contact by its small-diameter end (away from the ngers, see
Figure 2-13). Do not use excessive pressure. Holding the contact
by the ngers will damage it.
Figure 2-13. How to Properly Hold the Inner Contact
2. Under magni cation, carefully insert the insertion tool into the
new inner contact until it hits bottom. Do not use the removal
tool (with the threaded end) to insert the inner contact, or you
may damage the new inner contact.
3. Let go of the contact with tweezers and slowly insert the contact
into the center conductor (see Figure 2-14). As you install the
contact, its ngers compress and the force required to insert it
rst increases and then decreases. When the insertion force begins
to decrease, do not push too hard or you may damage the new
inner contact or center conductor.
4. At the point that the contact snaps into place, stop pushing.
5. Carefully withdraw the insertion tool from the inner contact.
6. Under magni cation, visually inspect the assembly and make sure
the inner contact is properly installed (see Figure 2-15).
CAUTION Never apply either lubricant or adhesive to an inner contact.

Testing A Slotless After you install a new inner contact, you must test it using the
contact tools provided in this repair kit. This tool was designed to help nd
improperly installed inner contacts.
1. Using a foam swab and alcohol, clean the testing tool.
2. Under magni cation, carefully install the testing tool in the
slotless contact assembly (see Figure 2-16).
3. Repeat step 2, two more times.
4. Inspect the inner contact. If the ngers are damaged, remove and
replace the inner contact.
5. Insert the testing tool.
6. With the testing tool inserted, turn the device upside down so
that the testing tool hangs by the grip of the slotless contact.
7. Hook the testing weight to the testing tool. If the contact has
the proper minimum retention force, it does not lose its grip.
8. Remove the testing weight.
9. Remove the testing tool.
10. Visually inspect the slotless contact.
11. If you see any dirt or metal particles, clean the contact using the
alcohol and foam swabs provided in this kit.
12. The clean, precision slotless connector is ready for use.
