1. Identify connector parts. (2 piece parts)
2. Strip cable to dimensions shown. Do not nick
center conductor or braid on flexible cable.
3.
Flexible Cable Attachment:
Twist stranded
center conductor into tight bundle and tin (op-
tional). Slide cable into body, making sure cable
insulation bottoms on center contact and braid
fits inside stem. Solder center conductor to con-
tact through the side access ports. Use a mini-
mum amount of solder for a good joint.
.020
(0.51) diameter solder is recommended.
Sol-
der braid to body. Use a minimum amount of
solder to completely join the braid to the body.
Semi-Rigid Cable Attachments:
Slide cable
into body making certain cable insulation bot-
toms on center contact. Solder center conduc-
tor to contact through the side access ports. Use
a minimum amount of solder for a good joint.
.020 (0.51) diameter solder is recommended.
Solder body to cable jacket. Use a minimum
amount of heat to minimize cable insulation
movement.
