PREFERRED 1. Solder around joint is smooth and shiny 2. No evidence of solder flow outside joint region • Soldering is much more tolerant of non-optimum technique. Disadvantages of this method: • It takes more time to terminate than other methods. • “Cold” solder joints can cause problems if the connector is not soldered properly to the cable, observing solder flow through the contact solder hole. NONCONFORMING 1. Visible braid indicates solder fill less than 75% minimum 2. Cavity changes contour of pin 3. Electricals will be affected NONCONFORMING 1. Excess solder flow onto body of pin 2. Excess solder changes contour of pin 3. Electricals will be affected • Soldered joints between contact and center conductor can work harden if subjected to excessive vibration during use and develop micro-cracks followed by solder fatigue. • Soldering can be inconsistent and subject to failure as a result of mechanical or temperature stresses. • Care must be taken to control heat applied during the soldering process and not allow solder to wick or distort the cable dielectric. NONCONFORMING 1. Dielectric melted past OD + 20% maximum 2. Flare of dielectric will interfere with assembly 3. Pin has melted into dielectric 4. Pin will not meet interface REFERENCE PREFERRED 4. Dielectric shows clean 90 degree stripping 5. No evidence of melting 7610 Miramar Road, San Diego, CA 92126 • (858) 549-6340 • (800) 233-1728 fax: (858) 549-6345 • email: rfi@rfindustries.com • web: www.rfindustries.com Revised 7-27-2013 178
Crimp-on This fabrication method has always been the workhorse of the industry, and is probably the most frequently used method of terminating connectors on coax cable. The crimp method is the most popular because: • There is no need for soldering; therefore, installation time is reduced. PREFERRED 1. Equal compression on all 6 crimp surfaces 2. Crimp die positioned within pin step down • It takes an experienced technician about 15 seconds to install a crimp-crimp connector, thereby greatly reducing the time required to create cable assemblies. This is very important in today’s cabling market where time is of the essence and fewer technicians are being asked to maintain more and more equipment. Digital video, computer and network cabling is almost universally crimped today. • Crimped connections, done correctly, can be superior to soldered connections. • A good crimped connection deforms the metal sufficiently past the yield point, but not too much, so that the "spring back" keeps the connection secure, even under thermal cycling (the coefficient of expansion of the two metals might be different) and vibration. • A good crimp connection is gas tight and won’t wick: it is sometimes referred to as a “cold weld”. • Like the solder method, it can be used on solid or stranded conductors, and provides a good mechanical and electrical connection. Disadvantages of the crimp method are: • If done poorly, the crimped contact will not seat properly within the connector taking the interface out of specification. Both signal continuity and quality will suffer. NONCONFORMING 1. Position of crimp die is outside crimp area 2. Body of pin is no longer concentric 3. Impedance of connector will be affected NONCONFORMING 1. Pin has been distorted, is no longer straight 2. Pin has begun to break at crimp Pin shows “dog ear” of excess material 3. Possible cause: wrong crimp die or too much pressure applied • Crimped contacts cannot be un-crimped and re-installed. In many cases, this means the entire connector assembly must be scrapped and replaced by a new one. • Crimped connections on solid wire can be poor and prone to failure, unless crimped with the proper dies using professional crimp handles. • Sometimes, although rarely and under conditions of frequent flex, stranded wire can shift within the crimped joint and loosen. This occurs more frequently with clamp connectors than connectors with crimped ferrule studs. • Some important points to remember when using the crimp method are to select the proper connector for the coax you are using. A tight fit on the inner conductor before crimp and the proper ratio of ferrule stud ID to cable dielectric OD and ferrule stud OD to ferrule ID is important to avoid a substandard crimp. Avoid double crimping, especially on the contact; this is known as "flagging" or “dog ears”.
