DESCRIPTION Solder Assembly Kit 1055468-1 contains the tooling required to properly solder Type N connectors to semirigid coax cable. The kit contains a cable fixture subassembly, two sets of clamp inserts for 2.16 [.085] and 3.58 [.141] cable, and two types of locators that are used to properly 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.

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 [.070], 2.16 [.085], and 3.58 [.141] 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.

See Figure 3. When used with the proper clamp inserts 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. i 1. Select the appropriate clamp inserts. Refer to Figure 1 for the appropriate clamp inserts. 2. Remove the cable fixture thumbscrew by rotating 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. Rev A 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 information. 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 contacts 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 300C [572F] i DANGER To avoid personal injury, be sure to observe all local safety practices (including the use of gloves). The STOP 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 subassembly. The subassembly refers to cable with center contact. 2 of 3 408-8781 Fixture Frame Thumb Screw Positioning Tool Clamp Inserts Cable Trimming Holes Spring Figure 3 2. Place loose connector assembly in fixture base. 3. Nest the center contact in locator tool. 4. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the cable. 5. Tighten the locator tool to seat the cable firmly. 6. Slide connector housing over locator tool. 7. Maintain position of housing firmly against locator tool. DANGER To avoid personal injury, be sure to follow all local safety practices when using solder and solder STOP equipment. 8. Solder according to the connector specific instructions. NOTE Fixture should be clamped vertically in vise to keep housing seated against locator tool. i 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. For 2.16 [.085] Cable 8. REVISION SUMMARY Since the previous release of this instruction sheet, the new company logo was applied.
