Center Conductor
The critical dimension to be measured is the recession of the center conductor.
This dimension is shown as MP and FP in Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4. No
protrusion of the center conductor's shoulder is allowable on any connector.
The maximum allowable recession of the center conductor shoulder is 0.003 in.
(0.08 mm) on all connectors, except those on the channel connectors.
On the channel connectors, not only is no protrusion allowable, the shoulder of
the center conductor must be recessed at least 0.0002 in. (0.005 mm). The
maximum allowable recession of the center conductor shoulder on the channel
connectors is 0.0021 in. (0.056 mm).
