Coax connectors made easy
Step 1
Strip the outer layer of the coax cable to reveal the braid (Earth)
Step 2
Trim back and fold the braid back over the coax cable.
Step 3
Strip off the inner conductor so it can fit into the center pin of the connector.
Step 4
Insert the coax into the connector and trim off the excess and solder the tip. Do not heat up too much or you may damage the connector. Only use enough solder to fill the tip of the center pin.
Step 5
Using a multimeter test for an open circuit by holding the probes against the center pin and the outer casing. |
