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 . . .

   I found the article that speaks to adding BNC

   connectors to the ends of smaller diameter wires.

   It's at:
