Making the Connection
Torque Specifications and Tools
Carefully align the connectors so they are parallel to
each other. The male connector center pin must slip
concentrically into the contact fingers of the female
connector.
Never
apply excessive force and
do not
twist while
pushing the connectors together.
Finger-tighten the connection first by turning the
connector nut.
Do not
turn the connector body.
The final tightening is done using the appropriate torque
wrench set to the correct torque setting for your
connector.
Never
use pliers to tighten connectors. For connectors
with flats, use the appropriate torque wrench. For
connectors without flats, such as some Type N
connectors, finger-tight is sufficient.
