Soldering iron (50 watt max.) Solvent,comothene, vythene or other non-flammable cleaning fluid

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE ASSEMBLY

STEP 1. Cut cable as shown in Figure 1. Cable end must be square. New cut can be made with sharp knife in sawing motion. Use straight-edged piece of paper around cable to guide jacketing cut. Clean outer conductor with solvent. Cut off out.er con­ ductor and foam with knife. Use knife to remove burrs. Use wire brush to remove copper particles from foam. Continue with Steps 2 and 3 for Type
41SP connector. For Types 41SW, 40622, and
41SWT connectors, read soldering techniques in Step
2 and proceed with Steps 4 and 5.

STEP 2. Slide UHF coupling nut onto cable with knurled end toward cable end. Add adaptor until flush with end of outer conductor. See Figure 2. Soft solder adapter to outer conductor. Use soldering iron or gun and rosin core solder. Avoid excessive heat. Keep inner conductor centered. Apply heat to adaptor to draw solder into hole. Wipe away excess solder and cool connection with damp cloth. Clean connection with garnet cloth. Do not use emery cloth or steel wool.
