TM 11-6625-3023-14/ET904-AA-MMA-010/E154 TS3684/TO 33A1-12-1173-1

(5)

Comb out braid and bend outward to allow free entry of cone (2). This will prevent cone from forcing

braid up under jacket.

(6)

Cut filler (G) out as shown in figure 6-3c.

(7)

Push cone dielectric (3) into cavity of cone (2).

(8)

Insert conductors (D and F) into cone assembly. Push edge of cone under braid (B). Tapered cone will

flare out braid and jacket. Continue to push cable into cone until braid (G) is flush with edge of cone (2).

(9)

Install insulation washer (9) over conductors (D and F) and seat against cone dielectric (3).

(10)

Cut 'conductor (F) 11/32 inch long measured from surface of washer (9), or dielectric (3) - strip dielectric

(E) back 3/32 inch (fig. 6-3d).

(11)

Cut conductor (D) 11/32 inch long measured from surface of washer (9), or dielectric (3) - strip dielectric

(12)

Tin conductor (F).

(13)

Push notched insert (10) over conductor (F), with conductor (D) folded at a right angle to allow notched

insert (10) to seat flat against washer (9), or dielectric (3).

(14)

Solder pin (4), seated against notched insert (10), to conductor (F).

(15)

Slip dielectric (5) over pin (4). Slip shield (6) over pin assembly and seat against washer (9).

(16)

Wrap conductor (D) between shield ridges and solder neatly. (Do not allow solder to extend above

ridges.)

(17)

Push insert (7) over shield (6), and seat against insulating washer (9), or dielectric (3).

(18)

Assemble connector body assembly over insert (7) and engage with nut.

(19)

Wrench tighten to 30-40 in. lbs. torque.

(20)

Perform the following continuity check using digital multimeter:

Between pin D and F (see figure 6-3).

Between Pin D and connector body.

Between Pin F and connector body.
