Step 1. First, slide grip sleeve and heat shrink boot over cable jacket. Cut and strip cable jacket, braided shield and dielectric to dimensions shown above. The inner conductor must have no severed strands and not more than two strands nicked during stripping. Wet exposed conductor using a non acid core 60-40
tin lead solder. Do not overheat. 

 



 
Step 2. Slide cable seal and contact over conductor. Push contact against cable seal and maintain slight pressure while soldering contact in place. Do not overheat.

 

Step 3. Flare out cable braid as shown, do not fray. Coat inner insulation and cable seal with fluorosilicone grease. Slide cable assembly into shell, do not pinch or otherwise damage cable seal. Guide braid over splined collar on shell until contact shoulder butts against shell insulator.

 
Step 4. Slide grip sleeve forward over braid until it bottoms out on shell. Trim excess braid (braid should not extend beyond grip sleeve) and crimp in place as shown using a Thomas & Betts(1) crimping tool.


For Reynolds connector use tool number WT-540 with die number 5456.


For Kings connector use tool number WT-540 with die number 5452.


Slide heat shrink boot centered over crimp sleeve. Heat shrink at 300° to 320°F. Coat back side of interface seal with fluorosilicone grease and slide into shell until it bottoms out evenly around contact.
