1. Trim the cable outer conductor and dielectric as shown taking care not to nick the center conductor
using Tool T2624, if available, or other cable cutting tool. Deburr outer conductor at point of cut.
‘A’ = 2,16

2. Point the end of the center conductor using Tool T2297 if available or a miniature file.
3. If style - 9073 is being assembled slip the coupling nut onto the cable.
4. Clean housing area of outer conductor with abrasive paper and clean in a suitable agent. Place 24
s.w.g. soldering ring and connector body on prepared end of cable. Ensure body is correct way
round. End of cable to be flush with end of connector body as shown.
Using Assembly Jig T1848, or other suitable clamping arrangement, clamp in a vertical position.
Heat the connector body using an appropriate heat source (solder tongs with variable control).
Apply sufficient heat for solder to flow but using minimum heat cycle.
5. Compress expanded dielectric back into cable outer conductor with Dielectric Compression Tool
as shown, until it is flush with end of body and outer conductor.
6. Fit the interface seal.
