8.
Gently flare the braid with your fingers (see
9.
Insert the end of the cable into the connector
body until the dielectric is firmly seated
inside the connector (see Figure 93). Make
sure there is no gap between the knurled end
of the connector and the cable jacket. Also be
sure all braid wires remain on the outside of
the connector.
10.
Trim any excess braid (see Figure 94), if
necessary. The braid should assemble flush to
within 1/16" (1.6 mm) of the connector
shoulder.
11.
Slide the ferrule over the braid until it is flush
against the connector shoulder (see
Figure 95). Make sure there are no exposed
strands of braid with the ferrule in place.
Figure 92: Flaring the Braid
Figure 93: Pushing On the Connector
A common installation failure occurs when
the connector is not seated properly onto the
cable. In these cases, the cable’s center
conductor does not fully engage the electrical
contacts inside the connector. To ensure full
engagement, make certain that there is no gap
between the cable jacket and the knurled end
of the connector before you crimp on the
ferrule. You may need to deburr and center
the end of the conductor to achieve a good fit.
