—Trim cable per trim code below; tin end of center conductor.
—Slide heat-shrink tubing and crimp sleeve over cable.
—Flare cable braid by rotating dielectric and slide cable into crimp tail.
2
—Position cable so braid touches rear of back nut.
—Slide crimp sleeve forward to touch rear of back nut.
—Crimp braid with appropriate die size from chart below.
3
—Assemble insulator and contact onto cable dielectric and
center conductor.
—Solder contact to center conductor by heating rear of contact
(do not feed additional solder through inspection hole in contact).
