1. Identify connector parts.
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 as shown.
3. Flair braid and slide cable into body making certain
that the cable dielectric 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. 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.
