(3) Tips on attaching coaxial cable connectors
Take notice of these instructions when attaching connectors to coaxial cables. Figure 5-8
shows the process of attaching coaxial cable connectors.
Make sure that the shield chips do not enter the connector when attaching it. (Figure 5-8,
Nos. 3 to 10)
⇒ Residual shield chips in the connector could cause a short circuit to occur.
Observe the length of the male pin (contact) when attaching the connector. (Figure 5-8,
No. 13)
⇒ Because the male pin at the terminal attachment is longer than standard, it could give
a crack to the female pin of the terminal connector. If the male pin at the terminal
attachment appears protruding when the terminal attachment is removed and the end
of the coaxial cable is viewed from sideways, the connector has been worked
improperly.
Be careful not to leave the male pin of the connector unsoldered when attaching it.
(Figure 5-8, Nos. 11 and 12)
⇒ Failure to solder the connector male pin could result in defective contact.
