2. DESCRIPTION

Solder Assembly Kit 1055469-1 contains the tooling

required to properly solder TNC and BNC solder-style

connectors to semi-rigid coax cable. The kit contains a

cable fixture sub-assembly, two sets of clamp inserts

for 2.16 [.085] and 3.58 [.141] cable, and two types of

locators that are used to properly align the connector

and cable. The kit also contains a solder gage for

proper spacing of the center contact, and a center

contact holder.

The cable fixture subassembly consists of a fixture

frame, thumbscrew, positioning tool and spring. See

Figure 3. When used with the proper clamp inserts the

assembly holds and locates coaxial cable for

soldering.

3. INSTALLING/REPLACING THE CLAMP INSERT

NOTE

i

Clamp inserts come in sets of two. Upper and lower

inserts are interchangeable.





1. Select the appropriate clamp inserts. Refer to

Figure 1 for the appropriate clamp inserts.

2. Remove the cable fixture thumbscrew by rotating

it in a counterclockwise direction.

3. Remove the positioning tool by rotating it in a

counterclockwise direction.

4. Remove the clamp inserts from the frame after

the positioning tool is removed.

5. Sandwich the spring in the pockets on the

replacement clamp inserts.

6. Place clamp inserts in the fixture frame and

reinstall the positioning tool.

7. Retighten positioning tool.

8. Reinstall the thumbscrew.

4. TRIMMING CABLE WITH FIXTURE FRAME

The fixture frame is equipped with six trimming holes

designed to remove the outer jacket and cable

dielectric. The side marked with the number 2 is for

trimming 1.78 [.070], 2.16 [.085], and 3.58 [.141]

cable. See Figure 3 and Figure 4. When cable is fully

bottomed during trimming, a strip length of 2.79 [.110]

will result. If different strip lengths are required the

center conductor must be trimmed separately.

The side marked with a number the number "1" is for

trimming cable already mounted in a connector

housing. See the connector specific instruction sheet

for more information.

NOTE

i

Trim blades are NOT included with the kit. Use a

razor blade with 0.38 [.015] maximum thickness.
