How to Assemble a BNC Cable
- 1). Disassemble the first BNC connector by removing the back nut and removing the washer, gasket, ferrule, rear insulator, contact pin, and front insulator. BNC connectors are shipped properly assembled, so pay attention to the order in which the components come out of the connector.
- 2). Slip the nut, washer, and gasket, in that order, on to the coaxial cable.
- 3). Expose the coaxial cable brain by stripping about 10mm of the outer sheath from the cable.
- 4). Carefully fold the braid back over the remaining outer sheath of the cable. The braid should surround the cable sheath.
- 5). Slip the ferrule over the cable, then fold the braid over the ferrule to make a neat connection. Trim the braid as necessary.
- 6). Strip the insulation off of the center core. Leave about 1mm of insulation on the cable-side of the core.
- 7). Tin the exposed core by heating it and melting solder onto the core.
- 8). Trim the exposed, tinned core to around 3-4mm.
- 9). Place the rear insulator over the conductor core.
- 10
Put the conductor pin over the tinned core. This should be flush with the conductor core. - 11
Solder the pin to the core. - 12
Put the front insulator on the assembly. - 13
Put the assembly into the body of the plug and tighten the rear nut.
