2. DESCRIPTION

Solder Assembly Kit 1055468-1 contains the tooling

required to properl y solder Type N connectors to semi-

rigid coax cable. The kit contains a cable fixture sub-

assembly, two sets of clamp inse rts for 2.1 6 [.085] and

3.58 [.141] cable, and two types of locators that are

used to proper ly align the connector and cable. The kit

also contains a solder gage for proper spacing of the

center contact, a center contact holder , and a dielectric

insertion tool.

The cable fixture sub a sse m bly co ns ists of a fixture

frame, thumbscrew, positioning tool and spring. See

Figure 3. When used with the proper clamp insert s the

assembly holds and locates coaxial cable for

soldering.

3. IINSTALLING/REPLACING THE CLAMP INSERT

NOTE

Clamp inserts come in sets of two. Upper and lower

inserts are interchangeable.

1. Select the appropriate clamp inserts. Refer to

Figure 1 for the appropriate clamp inserts.

2. Remove the cable fixture thu mbscrew by rot ating

it in a counterclockwise direction.

3. Remove the positioning tool by rotating it in a

counterclockwise direction.

4. Remove the clamp inserts from the frame after

the positioning tool is removed.

5. Sandwich the spring in the pockets on the

replacement clamp inserts.

6. Place clamp inserts in the fixture frame and

reinstall the positioning tool.

7. Retighten positioning tool.

8. Reinstall the thumbscrew.

4. TRIMMING CABLE WITH FIXTURE FRAME

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 [ .07 0 ], 2. 16 [.08 5 ], an d 3. 58 [. 14 1]

cable. See Figures 3 and 4. 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 informa tio n.

NOTE

Trim blades are NOT included with the kit. Use a

razor blade with 0.38 [.015] maximum thickness.

5. USING SOLDER GAGE AND CENTER CONTACT

HOLDER

The center contact holder is designed to hold both

male and female center contact s for the Type N

connectors.

The solder gage is used to properly space the Type N

center contact away from the cable dielectric. Refer to

the connector specific instruction sheet for the

appropriate solder gage to be used during the

assembly procedure.

CAUTION

Center contact holders contains small amounts of

lead. The lead is used for assembly.

NOTE

Maximum operating temperature for the center

contact holder is 300°C [572°F]

DANGER

STOP

To avoid personal injury, be sure to observe all local

safety practices (including the use of gloves). The

solder gage, center contact holder, and the contact

may be hot after soldering.

6. USING LOCATING TOOLS

Solder Assembly Kit 1055468-1 contains two locating

tools. Refer to the connector specific instruction sheet

for selection of proper locator tool and assembly

instructions.

These tools are designed to be used with the fixture

subassembly. To insure proper connector assembly,

follow the instructions listed below.

1. Place connector housing on end of cable sub-

assembly. The subassembly refers to cabl e with

center contact.

7. USING DIELECTRIC TOOLS

Solder Assembly Kit 10554668-1 contains one

dielectric tool. The dielectric (insertion) tool is used to

insert the dielectric bushing into the connector

housing.

Use the following instruction to press the dielectric

bushing into the connector subassembly.

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.
