GENERAL DIRECT SUPPORT MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
4. Prepare the cable for installation onto the new connector as follows:
a. Temporarily assemble the backshell, front adapter, dust cap ring, coupling nut, and
connector barrel with the cable end against the connector.
b. Mark the outer sheathing of the cable about 1-inch down from the threaded end of the
backshell.
c. Remove the connector barrel and slide the rest of the parts down the cable past the mark
made on the cable sheathing.
NOTE
Be careful not to cut the ground shield braid under the cable sheathing when
stripping the sheathing off the cable.
d. Strip the sheathing off the cable from the mark to the end of the cable.
e. Leave about 1-inch of exposed ground shield braid from the end of the cable sheathing
and cut the rest off.
f. Strip about inch of insulation off the ends of each of the individually insulated cable
wires.
g. Slide a 1-inch long shrink tube over each wire so that they clear the stripped portions of
the wires.
NOTE
Contact numbers are marked on the flat end of the connector.
5. Install the cable to the new connector as follows:
a. Disassemble the old connector and note the wire colors and the number of the contact to
which each wire is connected.
CAUTION
Installation of wires into the wrong contacts will result in malfunctions of damage
to equipment. Be sure the wires are installed into the correct contacts.
b. Insert a stripped cable wire into its respective contact on the new connector barrel and
solder the wire in place. Repeat this step for each of the wires in the cable.
c. Brush the soldered connections with a small brush.
d. Spray the connection with a degreaser.
e. Blow the connections dry with air.
f. Using a multimeter or comparable device, check across each of the terminals to ensure
that there is no current flow between contacts.
g. Slide the shrink tubes over each of the soldered connections.
h. Using a heat gun, shrink the shrink tubes onto the connections.
6. Assemble the new connector as follows:
a. Slip the coupling nut over the threads of the connector barrel.
b. Slip the dust cap ring over the threads of the connector barrel.
c. Apply antiseizing tape to the threads of the connector barrel and thread the connector
into the front adapter.
