6.3. For Right-Angle Connectors
Right-angle connectors require Locator 312173-1
which is not included in the kit and MUST be ordered
separately. Proceed as follows:
1. Slide the connector, flange end first, over the
cable end as shown in Figure 11.
2. Place the connector and cable inside of the tool
locator, making sure that:
— the recessed area of the connector body sits
squarely on the locator knob
— the connector collar faces forward, as shown in
Figure 11
3. Support the cable and connector assembly, and
squeeze the tool handles together to complete the
crimp.

7. INTERNAL REFERENCE PLANES FOR CABLE
The dimensions shown in Figure 12 are from the
cable-bottoming surface or plane in the connector to
the mating reference plane.
8. CABLE BENDING
The 90° bending fixture assembly is used to make
precise right-angle bends on the cable near SMA
plugs as shown in Figure 13. Bends can have a radius
of 3.18mm [.125 in.] (on RG-402 or RG-405 cable),
6.35mm [.250 in.] (on RG-402 cable only), or 1.57mm
[.062 in.] (on RG-405 cable only).
The spacer shown in Figure 14 must be positioned
behind the dummy jack when bending:
— RG-402 cable to either 3.18mm [.125 in.] or
6.35mm [.250 in.] radii terminated onto plugs
with center contacts
— RG-405 cable to 1.57mm [.062 in.] or 3.18mm
[.125 in.] radii when terminated onto plugs with
center contacts except Short Plugs 221447-[ ].
For short plugs, a special spacer is required and
MUST be ordered separately from Special Kit
220224-2
Loosen the dummy jack to insert the spacer, and re-
tighten the jack before proceeding.
