1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet deals with SMA Series 50–Ohm
Connectors for flexible cable listed in Figure 1.
Reasons for re–issue can be found in Section 3,
REVISION SUMMARY.
NOTE
Dimensions on this sheet are in millimeters [with
inch equivalents provided in brackets]. Figures
NOTE
Examine the braid wires and center conductor of
the cable under 10 X magnification for nicks or
i
damage. Be sure that the center conductor is
straight and free of burrs.
2. Crimp the center contact onto the center
conductor using the tool listed in Figure 1.

NOTE
Due to the size and smoothness of certain cables
(RG 316 188A), wrapping masking tape
i
temporarily around the cable jacket will aid in
gripping the cable jacket while pushing the
contact in to engage the internal locking feature.
Also grip the cables close to the connector to
prevent the cable from buckling.
NOTE
If the cable jacket moves on short lengths of
cable (such as RG 316 an 188A), trim the end of
i
the jacket as shown in Figure 4.
If the Cable Has Moved on the Braid During Contact
Insertion, Trim the End of the Jacket as Shown.
