Hi all,
Well subject pretty much says it all. I have never used these connectors, but I purchased them and the proper tool for crimping. However, here are a few questions:
1. I assume there is a neat trick to removing the jacket without trashing the braid and tips appreciated. THis was one of those things I never quite mastered. I could do it, but seems I was more prone to nicking the braid.
2. I understand I remove just enough jacket to fit the end of the connector such that the braid covers the um ring. Once that is done I would slide the outer ring/feral over the braid and then crimp.
3. To solder the tip I was told that a 40 watt iron should get the job done and the goal is to have slid the center conductor up into the tip so it is not sticking out necessarily, but is just about even. Then I need to feed a little solder down in the hole to keep the center conductor in contact with the center tip.
So does that about get it?
tnx
