SMA Straight Connectors, Crimp Type for Braided Cable

1. Trim cable to dimensions shown being careful not to nick the braid or center conductor. Tin center

conductor, (DO NOT OVER TIN) then slip ferrule (and shrink tubing if supplied) over cable.

2. Solder center conductor to contact. With AI-771 the contact bottoms on the dielectric. With AI-102

& AI-236 the gap shown is to be maintained.

Alternatively with AI-771.

Crimp attachment: Crimp contact to inner conductor using ITT Cannon’s Hand Tool P/N

050-000-0155 (Astro tool P/N 615708), setting 3 with positioner P/N 050-000-0156. (Astro turret

head P/N 650027), color code per chart.

3. Insert trimmed cable into the rear of the body assembly. Tubular body extension will slide under

the braid with the rear portion of extension fitting under the jacket as shown.

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

longitudinal slits in the outer jacket.

4. Slip ferrule flush against the body and crimp in position using ITT Cannon crimp tool and suitable

die set (see table).
