Sean,

All the ones I have used come with *instructions* that tell the strip
lengths of the jacket, braid, dielectric, and center conductor and
the little exploded drawing of how to put it together.

The strip lengths really matter to get it to work right and not short
out.

But in general:
1)You strip the jacket and braid the same length, leaving center
conductor and insulator longer.
2)Then the strip the insulator, leaving it longer than the jacket,
but leaving bare center conductor.  You thread the insulator disc
onto the center conductor, then crimp the pin on.
3)Drop the "tube" (ferrule) over the cable.
4)Press the dressed cable into the body, the neck of the connector
jams in between the dielectric and the braid
5) crimp the furrule over the jacket in the area covering the neck of
the connector, so it can't pull out.

But: Connector designs and dims. vary a lot.  So: Do you have the
docs?  If not, can you tell the manufacturer / model # for a www
search?

Regards,

Barry.
