ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
SMP Straight Female Solder Style for .047 OD Semi-Rigid Cable
1 Identify tools (5 piece parts) and connector parts (3 piece parts).
2. Strip cable jacket and dielectric to dimension shown. Do not
nick center conductor. Clean all debris from prepared cable.
3. Insert center conductor into cable stop as shown and place
contact onto center conductor.
4. Insert contact into contact holder fixture and clamp cable in vise.
Tighten stop screw until light pressure is applied between con-
tact, cable stop and cable jacket.
5. Solder contact to center conductor through solder hole using
.016 (0.41) diameter flux core solder wire or solder paste. Use a
minimum amount of solder and heat for a good joint. Do not
allow heat to build up for a long period of time as cable stop
may melt.
6. After solder joint has cooled, remove cable from vise. Remove
any excess solder from contact with a sharp blade and clean all
debris from contact and cable.
7. Insert contact into connector assembly, making sure cable stop
bottoms out against internal shoulder of connector body. Insert
connector assembly into interface location fixture and clamp
cable in vise. Make sure connector assembly is fully engaged
within location fixture. Tighten stop screw until light pressure is
applied between connector assembly and cable stop.
8. Solder end of connector body to cable jacket, using a minimum
amount of solder and heat for a full fillet joint. Allow assembly to
cool before removing connector from vise and location fixture.
Best results are obtained when contact location is flush to .004
(0.10) recessed from reference plane. Interface location fixture
is pre-set at factory, but can be adjusted to control location.
