1. Identify connector parts. (4 piece parts except RG-
58)
2. Strip cable to dimensions shown. Do not nick braid or
center conductor. A wire stripper of correct size is
recommended for this step. Twist stranded center
conductor into tight bundle and tin (optional). Slide
crimp sleeve onto cable shown.
3. Flair braid and slide cable into body making certain that
the cable insulation bottoms on center contact. Arrange
braid uniformly around crimp stem. Slide crimp sleeve
over braid and crimp securely using recommended
crimp tool.
4. Solder center conductor to contact through rear access
port. Use a minimum amount of solder for a full fillet
joint.
.020 (0.51) diameter solder is recommended.
5. Assemble insulator if applicable then place expansion
cap in access port and seat with .156 (3.96) diameter
flat punch or MCX hand assembly tool 141-0000-908.
Shrink heat shrink tubing over crimp sleeve if applicable.
