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

— the connector collar faces forward, as shown in

Figure 11

3. Support the cable and connector assembly, and

squeeze the tool handles together to complete the

crimp.

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.
