S4448 BNC Termination instructions
For use with PWS S3018 and S9046 Low-Loss Antenna Cable,
Amphenol 112563 BNC Crimp Connector, and 3/4" 3:1 Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink
Start with a fresh, clean 90° cut.
We recommend the Times Microwave
CST-400 Prep Tool, though not required.
Use the 'Cut 1' side of the tool, trim 1/4" from all but the
center conductor.
Slide crimp sleeve on cable.
Trim any excess. Use 'Cut 2 side of the tool (set to Crimp)
to trim 5/8" off just the jacket.
Splay the braided shield away from the
foil shield. Try to keep the braiding as
intact as possible.
Result.
Add pin to center conductor. Apply solder through small hole in center
pin.
Carefully slide connector body over foil
shield until the center pin clicks into
position. Be sure the foil does not slide
down the dielectric.
Slide the crimp sleeve over the braided
shield to see how much excess needs to
be trimmed.
Trim excess braided shield. Slide crimp sleeve over the braided
shield again, making sure no excess is
sticking out.
Crimping will be done with a .429" hex
die.
Place crimp tool/hex die on crimp
sleeve, towards the connector body.
Crimp the sleeve, making sure it stays
right against connector body.
Result. Slide 2" section of adhesive-lined heat
shrink onto connector and cable. Be sure
the heat shrink covers the crimp sleeve
AND connector body (not the mating
portion). This is what ensures a strong
reinforcement.
Termination complete!
