Step 1:
Strip the cable: Use a cable stripper to remove the outer insulation from the coaxial cable. Strip the outer jacket to expose the braided shield and the center conductor according the dimension of data sheet.
Step 2:
Pass through crimp ferruel and shirkable tube over cable.
Solder/Crimp the center conductor: Apply a small amount of solder to the center conductor, ensuring that it is securely attached to the SMA connector’s center pin. Or crimp the center conductor with SMA connector’s center pin.
Step 3:
Apply the braided shield of cable on the connector’s tail symmetrically
Step 4:
Slide the ferrule to the connector,
Crimp the ferrule by crimp tool, ensuring that it is securely attached to the connector body
Step 5:
Heat the tubing: Use a heat gun to shrink the tubing, ensuring a tight seal around the connector.
Step 6:
Test and verify the performance of cable assembly
Visual Inspection
Continuity Test
Insertion Loss
Return Loss
Mechanical Shock and Vibration
Environment Test
