Rf Connector Assembly - Garmin GTX 327 Installation Manual

A. Trim coax outer insulation back 0.50".
B. Trim braid (not center conductor or insulation) back 0.25".
C. Strip Insulation back 0.12".
Place the ferrule over the coax braid, flush against the coax outer insulation before
performing the next step if the outside diameter of the coax braid is smaller than the inside
diameter of the center connector sidewall opening.
D. Insert cable (center conductor, dielectric and shield braid) through the sidewall of the
connector and solder the center conductor to the center pin of the connector.
When using low loss cable it may be necessary to flatten the solid wire center conductor
slightly so it can fit the slot on the RF connector center pin. When soldering, avoid applying
excess heat to the connector body, and center conductor insulator.
E. Heat the outside of the connector sleeve and at the same time apply solder between the braid
and the sleeve. Continue to apply heat until the solder flows evenly.
F. Install 50
G. Insert connector cap and tack solder in two places.
