VIRGINIA PANEL CORPORATION ARINC USER’S MANUAL: SECTION 3 COAXIAL RCVR (50 OHM) ASSEMBLY P/N 610 104 144 FOR RG174 OR RG 316 PARTS/TOOLS REQUIRED: • Hex Crimp Tool (P/N 910 101 115) • Extraction Tool (P/N 910 112 104) • Center Conductor Forming Tool (P/N 910 121 119) • Center Conductor Enlarging Tool (P/N 910 121 143) • Inspection Gage (P/N 910 121 146) Recommended • Inspection Depth Gage (P/N 910 121 156) Recommended DIELECTRIC CRIMP RING BRAID CONDUCTOR WIRE INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Slide crimp ring onto wire (Fig. A). 2. Strip outer insulation, cut braid, and expose conductor wire as shown (Fig. A). 3. Turn braid back over outer insulation (Fig. B). 4. Solder wire into center conductor and clean (Fig. C). Note: Center conductor and dielectric must touch. 5. Slide shield conductor over center conductor until the center stops in the teflon shield (Fig. D). 6. OUTER INSULATION .17/.14 .33/.25 .49±.02 9 FIGURE A OUTER INSULATION BRAID FIGURE B NO GAP PERMISSABLE CENTER CONDUCTOR Check to ensure center conductor is flush with teflon shield (Fig E). SOLDER 7. Check retention force of one-half to four ounces using a 0.0195 diameter male pin. If retention force is too tow, remove shield conductor and resize center conductor using the Center Conductor Forming Tool (P/N 910 121 119). If the retention force is too high, resize the center conductor using the center conductor enlarging tool (P/N 910 121 143). Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7. 8. Turn braid back toward the front of the shield conductor (Fig. F). 9. If the braid extends beyond shoulder, trim braid back to face of shoulder. FIGURE C SHIELD CONDUCTOR CENTER CONDUCTOR FIGURE D .06±.02 REF TEFLON SHIELD CENTER CONDUCTOR 10. Slide crimp ring into position over the braid (Fig. G). TO BE FLUSH WITHIN +- .010 FIGURE E 11. Crimp using the Hex Crimp Tool (P/N 910 101 115)-in Hex Position A for the larger end first and in Hex Position B for the smaller section of the crimp ring (Fig. G). To ensure proper crimp position, slide shield conductor over dowel pin on hex crimp tool (Fig. H). Wire must not be allowed to pull on center conductor during crimping (for example, long wire hanging down to floor).
