1.
Identify connector parts. (3 piece parts)
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 contact 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).
