1. Flare the cable braid and insert the crimped center contact into the connector body until the cable

dielectric is against the dielectric inside the connector body. The flared braid will then fit over the

support sleeve of the connector body.

2. Slide the ferrule forward over the braid until the ferrule is against the connector body.

3. Place the ferrule in the crimping chamber on the anvil die so that the shoulder of the connector body is

against the edge of the die. Refer to Figure 4.

4. Holding the assembly in place, close the tool handles until the ratchet releases.

5. Allow the handles to open fully, and remove the crimped assembly from the die assembly.
