1. Strip cable jacket to the following dimensions (in inches), as illus-
trated in Figure 13: "Stripping the coax cable jacket," below: a=0.57,
b=0.34, c=0.14, d=0.43. Do not nick the center conductor.

2. Figure 14: "Flared cable braid," below: Slide outer ferrule on as
shown. Slightly flare the end of cable braid, as shown, to facilitate
insertion into inner ferrule.

3. Place center contact onto center conductor so that it butts against
the cable dielectric. Crimp the contact in place using Amphenol tool
handle #227-944 and Cavity B of Die Set 227-980-3.
4. Install cable assembly into body assembly so inner ferrule slides over
dielectric and under braid. Push cable assembly forward until con-
tact seats in insulator. Slide outer ferrule over braid and up against
connector body. Crimp outer ferrule using Cavity A of tools specified
above. The connector ferrule-to-cable junction can be sealed and
protected using adhesive-lined heat shrink.
