ANP De Ferrule oe Center Contact Plug Step-Down Ferrule Tubing AMP* 50-Ohm RF Series TNC Right-Angle Dual Crimp Plug Connectors 414173-[ ] Figure 1 1. INTRODUCTION This instruction sheet covers the assembly of AMP 50-Ohm PF Series TNC Right-Angle Dual Crimp Plug Connectors 414173-[ ]. The connector is crimped onto various sizes of RG/U cable using AMP PRO-CRIMPER* II Frame Assembly 354940-1, which accepts interchangeable crimping die assemblies. AMP Catalog 82074 provides die assembly part numbers for the frame assembly, product application requirements, cable selection, and product part number information. For information not listed, contact AMP Engineering for recommendations. Refer to instruction sheet 408-9930 for procedures concerning the operation of the frame assembly. 2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1) Each connector consists of a plug body, a center contact, and a ferrule (some ferrules are designed with a flange). The center contact is crimped onto the cable center conductor and assembled onto the plug body. The ferrule is then crimped onto the cable braid and plug body to complete the assembly. Dimensions are in millimeters [followed by inches in brackets]. Some connectors are supplied with a step-down ferrule and a tubing. The tubing is slipped over the cable dielectric before the center contact is crimped. in this use, the tubing compensates for small diameter cable dielectrics.

Slide ferrule onto unstripped cable; then strip cable using the appropriate dimensions provided in Figure 2. Do NOT nick or cut cable braid. Center conductor must be straight and free of burrs. if using a step-down ferrule, slide it onto the pil cable with the small opening first.

Insert center conductor into center contact. The center contact shoulder must be positioned against the cable dielectric, as shown in Figure 3. Be sure the cable insulation does not enter the center contact wire barrel. 3. Crimp the center contact with the recommended frame assembly fitted with the appropriate die assembly. 4. Flare cable braid to allow the support sleeve of the plug body to pass under the cable braid. Refer to Figure 3.
