Coaxial cable connector swaging technique. Final report
This project was established to investigate swaging small copper tubes onto the ends of the braided shield and twisted center conductor of a coaxial cable. The physical size, electrical characteristics, and mechanical strength of the swaged connection are the important parameters. A market search revealed that the swaging should be done in-house. The necessary tooling was purchased, and a formula was derived for designing the tubes. Subsequently, tubes were swaged onto appropriate wire, cut to specific lengths, and the electrical and mechanical characteristics tested. The testing done was insufficient to optimize the final connection versus assembly parameters. However, an approach was determined for any further work in developing and improving the connection as well as providing a connection that satisfies the preliminary drawing requirements.
