1. Identify connector parts.
(3 piece parts)
2. Slide crimp sleeve over the cable as shown.
3. Strip cable per dimensions given and
loosen braid.
4. Place contact over cable center conductor
and position against insulation.
5. Crimp (.042 crimp hex) or solder contact.
If crimping the contact, crimp the contact
as close as possible to the cable insulation
as shown.
6. Push the cable with the attached contact
into the connector body until contact is cap-
tured by internal rib within connector body.
Contact location shall be per dimension
shown. Slide crimp sleeve over braid until
it rests against top of connector body. Fin-
ish assembly by crimping with appropriate
crimp hex die as indicated for each con-
nector by the table.
