  • Prepare the Cable:
    Strip the Outer Jacket: Use a cable stripping tool to remove approximately 1.5 to 2 inches of the outer jacket from the LMR 400 cable. Be careful not to damage the braided shield.
    Expose the Shielding: Pull back the braided shield to reveal the dielectric insulation. You may need to trim any excess shield so it does not interfere with the crimping.
    Strip the Dielectric: Strip the dielectric insulation to expose the center conductor. The exposed center conductor should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long.
  • Prepare the Connector:
    Slide the Ferrule: On the UHF female connector, slide the metal ferrule (sleeve) onto the cable. This ferrule will be crimped onto the braided shield.
    Insert the Cable: Insert the stripped end of the LMR 400 cable into the UHF female connector. The center conductor should align with the connector’s center pin, and the shield should be positioned correctly with the ferrule.
  • Crimp the Connector:
    Crimp the Ferrule: Use the crimping tool to crimp the ferrule onto the braided shield of the cable. Ensure the crimp is tight and secure, creating a solid electrical connection between the shield and the connector.
    Crimp the Center Pin: Use the crimping tool to crimp the center pin of the UHF female connector onto the center conductor of the cable. Make sure the conductor is properly inserted into the pin before crimping.
  • Assemble and Insulate (Optional):
    Check the Fit: Verify that the connector is firmly attached and that there are no loose parts. Ensure the center pin is aligned properly and the shield is securely crimped.
    Apply Heat Shrink Tubing: For additional insulation and strain relief, slide heat shrink tubing over the joint and apply heat to shrink it tightly around the connector and cable.
  • Inspect the Assembly:
    Verify Connections: Check that the crimped areas are clean and well-formed, with no loose or poorly crimped parts.
    Test the Connection: Optionally, test the assembled connector for continuity and signal integrity to ensure it functions correctly.

The UHF Female LMR 400 Crimp connector is tailored for LMR 400 cables, offering low signal loss and excellent performance.
