RF, Microwave, Ham Radio / Dielectric insert tool for RG405 SMA plugs
« Last post by alan.bain on Today at 02:55:57 pm »I've been trying to fit some Macom SMA connectors (1050770-1) to RG405 and clearly need to a dielectric insert tool. I found a set of AMP instructions which includes a drawing of the tool (attached - found on the TE website) but I'm pretty sure it isn't to scale as it doesn't look like it would work as the pusher looks too short.
I've paradoxically got the Huber+Suhner toolkit for RG405 N connectors so have the stripping tools and soldering jig and wonder if anyone has the dielectric tool for SMA connectors if they could share a picture or a dimensionned drawing so I can make one on the nearest lathe.
These connectors are slightly unusual (at least to me) in that the centre pin doesn't have a shoulder (as shown in the Times Microwave illustration marked no shoulder at reference plane). I'm not sure I understand how this works as I always though this was part of the constant impedance design of the connector.
