6. Strip cable jacket to the following dimensions (in inches), as illustrated in Figure 10:
”Stripping the coax cable jacket,” below: a=0.57, b=0.34, c=0.14, d=0.43. Do not nick
the center conductor.

7. See Figure 11: ”Flared cable braid,” below: Slide outer ferrule on as shown. Slightly flare
the end of cable braid, as shown, to facilitate insertion into inner ferrule.

8. Place center contact onto center conductor so that it butts against the cable dielectric.
Crimp the contact in place using Amphenol tool handle #227-944 and Cavity B of Die
Set 227-980-3.
9. Install cable assembly into body assembly so inner ferrule slides over dielectric and
under braid. Push cable assembly forward until contact seats in insulator. Slide outer
ferrule over braid and up against connector body. Crimp outer ferrule using Cavity A
of tools specified above. The connector ferrule-to-cable junction can be sealed and
protected using adhesive-lined heat shrink.
