How to Assemble a Coaxial Crimp Connector | RF Cable Assembly Tutorial (No Voice)

Описание: In this video, I show how to assemble and crimp a coaxial RF connector step-by-step.
It’s a silent video filmed in my electronics workshop in Adelaide, Australia, showing the full process — from cable stripping to final crimping.


_ What This Connector Does

This is a coaxial RF connector, commonly used for transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals.
It connects coaxial cables (like RG-58 or RG-174) to RF devices such as:
• Antennas and transmitters
• Radios and communication systems
• CCTV and video equipment
• Test instruments (like VNAs and spectrum analyzers)
• Modems and signal analyzers

The connector ensures proper shielding and signal integrity between the center conductor and outer shield, preventing signal loss and interference.

_ Tools and Materials Used
• Coaxial cable (e.g., RG-58 / RG-174)
• Crimp-type RF connector (Amphenol style)
• Crimping tool
• Cable stripper
• Cable cutter
_ Tips
• Cut the cable cleanly at right angles
• Avoid deforming the dielectric while stripping
• Use a good quality crimping tool
• Check for proper contact between the shield and connector body
