2. Slide the center contact onto the center
conductor of the cable; then insert the contact
assembly into the center contact crimp section of
the dies.
3. Crimp the center contact by holding the cable in

4. INSPECTION
4.1. Visual Inspection
Inspection of the crimping dies should be made on a
regular basis to ensure that they have not become
worn or damaged. Inspect the crimp sections for
flattened, chipped, worn, or broken areas. If damage
or abnormal wear is evident, the dies must be
replaced. Refer to Section 5, PARTS
REPLACEMENT.
Crimping Ferrule
3.2. Ferrule
1. Insert the crimped center contact into the
connector body until the cable dielectric butts
against the dielectric inside the connector body.
The flared braid will then fit around the support
sleeve of the connector body.
