Abstract:
A method for assembling an impedance controlled electrical connector using a conventional connector shell and connector insert, for use in connection with an impedance controlled cable having a conductor, dielectric insulation covering said conductor, a shielding braid, and an outer jacket, comprising the steps of:removing a portion of said outer jacket proximate a free end of said cable; retracting a portion of said shielding braid in a direction away from said free end of said cable; removing a portion of said dielectric insulation proximate said free end of said cable, thus exposing said conductor; crimping a first electrical termination component onto said exposed conductor; extending said retracted shielding braid toward said free end of said cable; connecting a drain wire to said shielding braid; crimping a second electrical termination component onto said drain wire; and inserting said first and second electrical termination components into said connector insert in a predetermined pattern.
