I am assembling a DIY mainframe/plug-in extension cable for service use with the HP 8530B series sweeper and plug-ins. I need help identifying the correct crimp tool jaw type to use with the Harting coax contacts that are used in a mixed D-Sub 37 connector (details follow...)
There are two cables, one uses an Amphenol 64-pin data only connector (like a large "Centronix Printer" connector), the other (which I'm working on now) uses a 37-pin D-subminiature connector with mixed contacts (19 data, 3 coaxial). I have sourced all of the required parts (some time ago; the Harting mixed connector contacts longer in stock from what I can tell.)
The coaxial sections (there are three coax lines involved in the extender cable for the 8530B, I'm using RG316) use a solder/crimp male end from Harting (their part number 09692817140) and female end from Harting (their part number 09691817140.)
The datasheets for these two connectors are attached (one-page PDF each.) There are no assembly instructions in the datasheet, and so far I've not found any assembly instructions. The coax center is soldered (goes about 3mm into hollow tube in the connector's center pin body); the coax shield is crimped (a small additional part that slides over the back of the connector body.) The data sheet's only statement is "Outer ferrule: crimp in tool cavity B".
I want to be sure I use the correct crimp tool jaw as the Harting contacts are unobtanium at this point (and weren't cheap when I found them before). My crimp tool supports RG174/316 so I *think* the ferrule size would work with that, but I'm not certain.
Is there any definition of "tool cavity B" - particularly dimension that I could compare to my crimp tool's jaw options?
Thanks!
