TRIMMING CABLE WITH FIXTURE FRAME Figure 3 Contact customer service or refer to Catalog 1308940 for additional information. 2. DESCRIPTION Solder Assembly Kit 1055466-1 contains the tooling required to properly solder SSMA (OSSM) connectors to semi-rigid and flexible coax cable. The kit contains a cable fixture sub-assembly, two sets of clamp inserts for 2.16 [.085] and 1.78 [.070] cable, and four 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, a center contact holder, three dielectric insertion/recess tools, and locking ring pliers. The cable fixture subassembly consists of a fixture frame, thumbscrew, positioning tool and spring. See Figure 4. When used with the proper clamp inserts 2 of 4 NOTE 7. Retighten positioning tool. 1062258-1 1081231-1 NOTE 3. INSTALLING/REPLACING THE CLAMP INSERT 4. Remove the clamp inserts from the frame after the positioning tool is removed. FLEXIBLE CABLE CONNECTORS Connector Part Number the assembly holds and locates coaxial cable for soldering. 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 Figures 4 and 5. 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 Trim blades are NOT included with the kit. Use a razor blade with .38 [.015] maximum thickness. 5. USING SOLDER GAGE AND CENTER CONTACT HOLDER The center contact holder is designed to hold both male and female center contacts for SSMA (OSSM) connectors. The solder gage is used to properly space the SSMA (OSSM) center contact away from the cable dielectric.

The solder gage, center contact holder, and the contact may be hot after soldering. 6. USING LOCATING TOOLS Solder Assembly Kit 1055466-1 contains four locating tools. Refer to the connector specific instruction sheet for selection of proper locator tool and assembly instructions. For 2.16 [.085] Cable For 3.58 [.141] Cable Type A, as well as Type B locating tools are available. 6.1. Using Type A Locating Tools The solder assembly kit contains two Type A locator tools. These tools are designed to be used with the fixture subassembly. To insure proper connector assembly, follow the instructions listed below. For 1.78 [.070] Cable Figure 5 1. Place connector housing on end of cable sub-assembly. The subassembly refers to cable with center contact. 2. Place loose connector assembly in fixture base. 3. Nest the center contact in locator tool. 4. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the cable. CAUTION NOTE Rev O Center contact holders contains small amounts of lead. The lead is used for assembly. 5. Tighten the locator tool to seat the cable firmly. Maximum operating temperature for the center contact holder is 300_C [572_F] 7. Maintain position of housing firmly against locator tool. 6. Slide connector housing over locator tool. 3 of 4 Solder Assembly Kit 1055466-1 DANGER To avoid personal injury, be sure to follow all local safety practices when using solder and solder equipment. 8. Solder according to the connector specific instructions. NOTE Fixture should be clamped vertically in vise to keep housing seated against locator tool. 6.2. Using Type B Locating Tools The solder assembly kit contains two Type B locator tools. These tools are used to confine the connector dielectric, which aids in providing proper cable seating when soldering to flexible cable. To insure proper connector assembly, follow connector specific instructions. 7. USING DIELECTRIC TOOLS Solder Assembly Kit 1055466-1 contains three dielectric tools. Two dielectric (insertion) tools are used to insert the dielectric bushing into the connector housing. The dielectric (recess) tool is used to compress expanded cable dielectric after soldering semi-rigid coaxial cable to the connector housing, if required. Use the following instruction to press the dielectric bushing into the connector subassembly. 4 of 4 408-8780 1. Thread the insertion tool into connector subassembly. 2. Insert the dielectric into insertion tool housing. 3. Place insertion tool plunger into position. 4. Press the plunger until the flange bottoms on the tool housing. 8. USING LOCKING RING PLIERS The locking ring pliers are used to compress the retaining ring, allowing installation of the coupling nut on specific connectors. Use the pliers as follows: 1. Place retaining ring (and gasket) on connector housing. 2. Compress the retaining ring with the retaining ring pliers. 3. Push coupling nut on to housing and over the retaining ring. 4. Check to make sure the coupling nut rotates freely after the retaining ring is in place. 9. REVISION SUMMARY Per EC 0990-1851-02: S New release of instruction sheet Rev O
