Secondary Method:
Solder a Flat Braid (item 4, Figure 3-6) to the folded back shield on the prepared cable assembly
(item 2, Figure 3-1 or
soldering practices. Use care to avoid applying excessive heat that burns through the insulation of the
center conductors and shorts the shield to the signal wire. Slide a minimum of 0.75 inches of Teflon
heat shrinkable tubing (item 3, Figure 3-6) onto the prepared wire assembly and shrink using a heat
gun. The chosen size of heat shrinkage tubing must accommodate both the number of conductors
present in the cable as well as the Flat Braid (item 4, Figure 3-6) to be attached.
Teflon Heat Shrinkable Tubing:
Reference the following MIL-Spec for general Teflon heat shrinkable tubing (M23053/5-X-Y)
