7. Ensure that the exposed center conductor is straight.
8. If necessary, remove any residue from the center conductor.
9. Using the deburring tool, deburr the end of the center conductor so that it is smooth and
rounded.
Part 2: Installing the connector
1. Press the center pin firmly onto the center conductor. There should be approximately 2 mm of
exposed center conductor showing between the center pin and dielectric core.
2. Slide the heatshrink over the sensor cable’s gray jacket.
3. Slide the crimp ring over the stripped sensor cable and drain braid until it butts up against the
gray jacket.
4. Lift the drain braid slightly, and then fit the connector shell onto the sensor cable, so the center
pin, foil and dielectric core fit smoothly into the connector shell, while the drain braid remains
outside.
