SFF8639 Test Adapter User Manual (Preliminary) Introduction This user’s manual documents the SFF‐8639 Plug and Receptacle Test Adapters (8639‐TPA‐P and 8639‐TPA‐R). The two test adapter types, shown in Figures 1 and 2, test 8639 interface cables, hosts and devices against the SFF‐8639 Specification. NOTE: The test adapters referred to and illustrated in this “General” section of the User Manual, reflect the “Universal” SFF‐ 8639 Test Adapters.

The 16‐position keyed/latching mating connector part number is 43045‐1602.
SFF8639 Test Adapter User Manual (Preliminary) Product Inspection Upon receiving the 8639‐TPA from Wilder Technologies, perform the following product inspection: Inspect the outer shipping container, foam‐lined instrument case, and product for damage. Retain the outer cardboard shipping container until the contents of the shipment have been inspected for completeness and the product has been checked mechanically and electrically.
SFF8639 Test Adapter User Manual (Preliminary) The SFF‐8639 Test Adapter Care and Handling Precautions The SFF‐8639 Test Adapter requires careful handling to avoid damage. Improper handling techniques, or using too small a cable bend radius, can damage the coaxial cable connections within the adapter housing or the cables themselves. This can occur at any point along the cable.
SFF8639 Test Adapter User Manual (Preliminary) 3. The 8639‐TPA SMA connectors have flats that accept an open‐end 1/4‐inch or 6.5mm wrench. When attaching instrument cables to the 8639‐TPA, it is recom‐ mended that the 8639‐TPA SMA connectors be mechanically held and the test leads be tightened to the equipment manufacturer’s torque recommendations, normally 5 in‐lbs, using a 5/16‐inch open‐end wrench.
SFF8639 Test Adapter User Manual (Preliminary) General Test Adapter, Cable, and Connector Observing simple precautions can ensure accurate and reliable measurements. Handling and Storage Before each use of the 8639‐TPA, ensure that all connectors are clean. Handle all cables carefully and store the 8639‐TPA in the foam‐lined instrument case when not in use, if possible. Do not set connectors contact end down. Install the SMA protective end caps when the 8639‐TPA is not in use.
SFF8639 Test Adapter User Manual (Preliminary) Electrostatic Discharge Information Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while connecting, inspecting, or cleaning the 8639‐TPA test adapter and connectors attached to a static‐sensitive circuit (such as those found in test sets). Electrostatic discharge can damage or destroy electronic components.
SFF8639 Test Adapter User Manual (Preliminary) User Model The 8639‐TPA supports all testing of SFF‐8639 related interface specifications such as PCIe SFF‐8639, SATA Express, MultiLink SAS, and others. It is capable of performing beyond the scope of measurements required, limited only by the specifications, environmental, care and handling as stated in this document. The following examples are suggestions for possible testing setups.

SFF8639 Test Adapter User Manual (Preliminary) Calibration Through De‐Embedding The SFF‐8639 Host and Device Test Adapters are fully passive components. Therefore, calibration compensating for the losses must occur within the test instrumentation that drives the SFF‐8639 receiver or looks at the response of the SFF‐8639 transmitter. The 8639‐TPAs have Touchstone S4P files for de‐embedding the electrical length and losses within the TPA up to the SFF‐8639 connector interface pads.
