SMB/SMC & SMS Straight Connectors, Crimp Type for Braided Cable
1. Slide ferrule on cable, (and tubing with SMS)
2. Trim cable to dimensions shown taking care not to nick braid or center conductor.
3. Tin center conductor (DO NOT OVER TIN).
4. Slide rear body over cable dielectric and under the braid until the braid is flush against the rear of
the hexagonal nut.
NOTE: When using cables with inflexible jackets two 3,17 (.125) slits in the outer jacket are
permissible.
5. Slide on rear insulator so that the counterbore rests against the cable dielectric.
6. Place a small solder preform made from 0,26 - 0,31 (.010 - .012) dia (28 swg) multi-core solder
in rear of contact.
7. Assemble contact on center conductor, heat to make solder connection ensuring shoulder of
contact is flush against rear insulator.
N.B. Do not allow solder to protrude outside spill hole.
8. Slide ferrule against body and crimp using ITT Cannon Crimp Tool and suitable die set (see table
below).
9. Slide on front insulator (if not already assembled in body).
10. Screw on front body and tighten to 0,63 - 0,70 Nm (90 - 100 in. ozs.).
11. On SMS slip tubing over the ferrule and heat until the shrinkable tubing fits smoothly around the
cable.
Only common cable retention features are shown in detail. Various body configurations can
apply.
