Inspect Female Connectors
When using slotless connectors like the 3.5 mm or some Type-N 50 Ω female 
connectors, pay special attention to the contact fingers on the female center 
conductor. These can be bent or broken, and damage to them is not always 
easy to see. A connector with damaged contact fingers will not make good 
electrical contact and must be repaired or replaced.
Due to the tighter mechanical specifications of precision devices, 
inspection is particularly important when you are mating nonprecision to 
precision devices.
