Description
These precision K (2.92mm) connector calibration kits are designed for use with a broad range of Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs). With these kits, you can make error corrected measurements of devices equipped with K connectors from 40 MHz to 40 GHz.

Each kit includes a full complement of calibration standards (shorts, opens, sliding and fixed loads) and can be configured to match any combination of VNA or test set and cable connectors. Ordering the 8770C with the appropriate option number from the Option Chart, allows you to tailor your kit to your specific application(s). All required calibration standards, adapters and accessories, plus the software (calibration constants and operating instructions) for your VNA, are supplied in an attractive foam-lined wooden instrument case. Each kit is tested for 100 percent compliance to kit specifications and is provided with a performance verification report.

Connector Description
The K connector is a precision miniature 2.92mm air line interface connector that operates mode free to 40 GHz. It has a mechanically compatible interface that mates with SMA and 3.5mm connectors. This interface was originally introduced by Maury in 1974 as MPC3 connector and was reintroduced as the K connector by Wiltron in 1984.
