Abstract
A method for producing an operative connection between a coaxial cable (1) and a coaxial connector (16). A cable jacket (5), if present, is removed by means of a first tool (6) to a predefined first length L1. In a second step, an outer conductor (3) is removed by means of a second tool (7) to a predefined second length L2. In a third step, a dielectric (4) is removed by means of a third tool (8) to a third length L3, such that one end (15) of the inner conductor (2) is exposed. Then the end (15) of the inner cable conductor (2) is formed by means of a rotary swaging device (9), which comprises a plurality of deflectable jaws (10) rotatable circumferentially about an axis of rotation (11) and each hammering in the radial direction with at least one operative surface (14).
Claims7
A method for producing an operative connection between a first coaxial cable and a coaxial connector, comprising the following method steps:
- a. removing an outer conductor over a defined second length with a second tool;
- b. removing a dielectric over a third length with a third tool, so that an end of the inner conductor is exposed;
- c. providing a rotary swaging device comprising a plurality of jaws which are rotatable in the circumferential direction about an axis of rotation, that are movable in a radial direction and each comprise at least one active surface;
- d. introducing the end of the inner conductor into an active region of the at least one active surface so that a shape of the at least one active surface is transferred to the end of the inner conductor and the end of the inner conductor has at least two portions, each having a different defined diameter;
- e. providing the coaxial connector;
- and
- f. pushing the inner conductor into a cable opening in a housing of the coaxial connector until at least one portion having the at least one defined diameter has reached a defined position inside the coaxial connector.
