Solder the pin
Make sure the solder hole is facing up. Touch the soldering iron to the underside of the
center pin directly under the solder hole. Touch the solder to the center conductor
through the solder hole on the center pin. Allow the heat from the metal to melt the
solder so that it wicks into the center pin. Once the solder melts it only takes a tiny
amount of solder to make the connection. Do not allow the solder to pool over the solder
hole. The outside of the center pin should be free of obstructions for insertion. Do not
over heat the center pin which could cause swelling of the dielectric of the coax.
Main Body Install:
Install the cable assembly with the center pin already affixed, into the main body of the
connector. The knurled portion of the main body slides under the braid of the coax.
Push the cable assembly into the main body until the center pin snaps into place in the
dielectric of the connector.
Slide the ferrule (placed on the coax at the beginning of Step 2) over the braid and
completely up against the connector body. Using the 0.590 hex of the 7505-HANDLE-
600 crimp handle, crimp the ferrule at the location shown in the picture below (on the
ferrule, but right up against the main body of the connector).
Final Testing:
When this is completed, as a final test, you should always check resistance from the
center pin to the body with an ohmmeter in a low resistance scale. After verifying that
there are no braid
–
to
–
center pin shorts on the other end of the coaxial cable, you
should see infinite resistance (open).
