6.3. For Right-Angle Connectors
Right-angle connectors require Locator 312173-1
which is not included in the kit and MUST be ordered
separately. Proceed as follows:
1. Slide the connector, flange end first, over the
cable end as shown in Figure 11.
2. Place the connector and cable inside of the tool
locator, making sure that:
— the recessed area of the connector body sits
squarely on the locator knob

7. INTERNAL REFERENCE PLANES FOR CABLE
The dimensions shown in Figure 12 are from the
cable-bottoming surface or plane in the connector to
the mating reference plane.
8. CABLE BENDING
The 90° bending fixture assembly is used to make
precise right-angle bends on the cable near SMA
plugs as shown in Figure 13. Bends can have a radius
of 3.18mm [.125 in.] (on RG-402 or RG-405 cable),
6.35mm [.250 in.] (on RG-402 cable only), or 1.57mm
[.062 in.] (on RG-405 cable only).
The spacer shown in Figure 14 must be positioned
behind the dummy jack when bending:
— RG-402 cable to either 3.18mm [.125 in.] or
6.35mm [.250 in.] radii terminated onto plugs
with center contacts
— RG-405 cable to 1.57mm [.062 in.] or 3.18mm
[.125 in.] radii when terminated onto plugs with
center contacts except Short Plugs 221447-[ ].
For short plugs, a special spacer is required and
MUST be ordered separately from Special Kit
220224-2
Loosen the dummy jack to insert the spacer, and re-
tighten the jack before proceeding.
