How to Fit a N Type



Instructions
  1. Cut the coaxial cable to length as needed.


  2. Slide the backing nut, rubber washer, rubber gasket and clamp down the cable and out of the way.


  3. Insert the end of the cable into the wire stripper, removing 1/2 inch of insulation.


  4. Slide the white inner plastic dielectric tubing into the stripper, removing 3mm of this material.


  5. Slide the clamp back up the cable. Fold the braided shielding evenly over the surface of the clamp.


  6. Slide the nickel pin over the copper centre conductor, butting firmly against the white plastic dielectric. Apply a small bead of solder through the hole on the nickel pin with the preheated soldering iron.


  7. Press the outer fitting body over the end of the cable and pin, also pressing tightly against the white dielectric.


  8. Slide the connector parts back up the cable, seating each into the outer connector body. Screw the backing nut into the connector body to complete the termination.
