1. Slide clamp nut, washer and ‘O’ ring over cable.

2. Trim cable to dimensions shown being careful not to nick the braid.

3. Thumb braid out radially at right angles to cable dielectric.

4. Slide sleeve over dielectric and under braid until sleeve is flush with braid.

NOTE: When using cables with inflexible jackets it is permissible to make two 3,17 (.125)

longitudinal slits in the outer jacket.

5. Trim braid flush with flange of sleeve.

6. Trim back dielectric to dimensions shown.

7. Tin center conductor (DO NOT OVER TIN).

8. Fit insulator over center conductor.

9. Place a solder preform, made from 0,26 - 0,31 (.010 - .012) dia. (28 swg) multi-core solder in rear

of contact on center conductor. Heat to make solder connection ensuring shoulder of contact is

flush against rear insulator. Do not allow solder to protrude outside spill hole.

10. Fit front insulator if not part of body. Slide ‘O’ ring forward to trap braid around sleeve.

11. Thread on body and tighten clamp nut to 1.02 Nm (9 in. lbs.).
