Claims8
A method for applying solder to a braided shield of electrical conductive material in the end portion of a coaxial cable, comprising a conductor surrounded by an insulative layer and a braided shield enclosed by a jacket, said method comprising the steps of dipping the cable end portion into a molten solder bath which is maintained at a temperature effective to restrict destruction or damage to said jacket during said dipping;
- and removing said cable end portion from said solder bath with said jacket remaining intact over said end portion.
A method for applying solder to an end of a multi-wire braided conductor of a cable beneath a jacket, comprising the steps of cutting the cable to form an end, dipping said end into a molten solder bath to affording wicking of the solder between the braided conductor wires for interconnecting the braided conductor wires, and removing the cable end from the solder bath with said jacket remaining intact over said end.
