1.
Identify connector parts. (3 piece parts except bulkhead)
2.
Strip cable to dimensions shown. Do not nick braid or center conductor. Tin center conductor if
contact is to be solder attached. Do not tin center conductor if contact is to be crimp attached. Slide
heat shrink (as applicable) and crimp sleeve onto jacket of cable.
3.
Assemble contact onto cable as shown.
Solder attachment.
Solder contact to center conductor through solder hole using .020 (0.51)
diameter solder. Use a minimum of solder for a good joint.
Crimp attachment.
Crimp contact to center conductor using Johnson Components
TM
hand tool
140-0000-952 and die set 140-0000-953. Crimp location should be centered between end of con-
tact and cross hole. Crimp attachment to solid center conductor cable is not recommended.
4.
Flair braid and slide body assembly over contact and under braid. Then seat body assembly firmly
onto contact. The cable may have to be held in a clamping fixture. Arrange braid uniformly around
crimp stem. Slide crimp sleeve forward and crimp using recommended crimp tool. Slide heat
shrink forward and shrink (as applicable).
