Step 1
Slide heat shrink tubing and outer ferrule onto cable. Strip
cable jacket, braid and dielectric to dimensions shown in
table above. All cuts are to be sharp and square. Do not nick
braid, dielectric or center conductor when cutting. Tin center
conductor. Avoid excessive heat to prevent swelling of cable
dielectric. Flare end of cable braid slightly as shown to facilitate
insertion of inner ferrule. Do not comb out braid.
Step 2
contact bottoms here
Step 2
Solder center contact to cable center conductor as shown.
Remove excess solder.
Note:
Contact must bottom against
cable dielectric. (For angle plugs skip to Step 3B below.)
Step 3
Step 3
Install coupling nut and body assembly as shown. Place
ferrule against body and crimp with die set shown in table
above. Place heat shrink tubing over crimp ferrule, against
body, and apply heat.
Step 3B for angle plugs

to contact
Step
3B
For angle plugs: Place cable dielectric into body and press
ferrule against body as shown. Crimp with die set shown in
table above. Solder cable center conductor into contact as
shown. Insert cap and solder as shown or dimple and lightly
punch center of cap for retention in body, for brass versions.
Place heat shrink tubing over crimp ferrule, against body, and
apply heat.
