Bob and all,

Some time ago you published a page on connecting a regular (big) BNC 
connector to a skinny coax cable (RG 174 ?).
To date I've been unable to retrieve the document.
Could you point me in the right direction ?

Thanks,
Best regards,

   I vaguely remember that . . . but I can't put
   my hands on the imagery in my picture files.
   There are several approaches but the general
   idea is to get the electrical connections made
   up by the usual crimp/solder techniques and
   the "pot" the small coax body into the too-large
   connector with epoxy or super-glue.

   I'd prepare the end of the RG-174 like . . .

http://aeroelectric.com/articles/shldwire/shldwire.html

   Cut the center conductor back to leave about
   1'4" insulation, strip end and crimp on
   the center pin. You may want to double-back
   the strands of 174 before inserting them into
   the pin to make sure you got plenty of copper
   in the wire-grip.

   Fold the shield-tail back as you push the
   pin into place in the connector body.
   Wrap the shield-tail over the end
   of the shield grip so you can slide
   the ferrule over it and crimp. Trim
   of excess shield tail. Now you can
   fill the cavity around the cable
   with epoxy. A slow-set variety is
   probably called for so that it says
   "runny" long enough to penetrate as
   far as possible into the open voids
   around the cable.


        Bob . . .
