Assembly Instructions
BBAI-1238
SMZ QTTM Connectors for Braided Cable
1. Prepare cable, using a suitable stripping, tool to the dimensions shown being careful not to damage the
braid, dielectric or inner conductor.
NOTE: Do not attempt to mate unterminated connectors.
2. Trim center conductor to dimensions shown by inserting conductor through the hole in the center of
the assembly tool and trimming, with sharp side cutters, flush with the face of the tool. DIMENSIONS
CAN BE CHECKED USING THE TEMPLATE ON THE REAR FACE OF THE ASSEMBLY TOOL.
3. ENSURE THAT THE INNER CONDUCTOR IS STRAIGHT. Slide the crimp ferrule over the cable sheath.
Fit the connector body onto the cable so that the rear body slides between the dielectric and the braid
(gently twisting and rocking the connector body to spread the braid will help). Care must be taken to
ensure that no strands of braid are trapped under the body. A small gap [2,00 (.079) maximum] should
be evident between braid and face of body.
4. Support cable/connector in one hand. Press home insulator using assembly tool provided, using the
larger for the DDF jack and the smaller for the Posilock plug.
5. Slide the crimp ferrule forward, over the braid, until it butts up against the rear of the connector. Crimp
using ITT Cannon crimp tool fitted with a suitable die set (see table).
