Yes, the crimp style, right angle connectors
are unique in that one connection (center conductor)
is soldered.

The shield is crimped with a process
and tools common to the series.

That is a crimped shield. It uses the same tools
as the straight connector. For the .195" coax
cables (RG58/141/142/400/LMR195) you need a crimp
tool with a .213" hex die. Installation of a two-crimp
connector is illustrated here:

Optimal stripping dimensions for that connector
are given on the customer data sheet:

Striping is really easy with the right tool:

I did a quick look-see on youtube for a good
video on this topic. They range from barely
informative to outright wrong . . . I guess
I need to get into the video business . . .

Bob,
No worries. I can handle the details of stipping and soldering and
crimping. I just wanted confirmation that I only needed to crimp the shield.
Cheers,
