Help!
I bought a 90-degree TNC connector from Aircraft Spruce. It's an Amphenol Connex 122430
https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/amphenol11-15368.php

and
https://www.amphenolrf.com/122430-10.html

Amphenol's page says that the "contact termination style" is "solder." From the way that the connector is built, it is clear to me that I should solder the center conductor. No problem.
My question: Should I also solder the shield in some way and, if so, how? Or is crimping that sufficient?
We have one afternoon of warm weather tomorrow so I plan to head out to the airport and finish installing my Garmin GPS 175.
Thanks,
    -- Art Z.

That style connector expects that the barrel in the left of the pic will be placed over the coax prior to stripping and soldering. The outer insulation and braid shield should be cut back just enough to allow the center conductor to just reach the center pin in the connector. The center insulator should be trimmed just enough to allow the center conductor to reach the center pin. The knurled barrel pointed left in the pic will be inserted between the coax center insulation and shield, and after soldering the center conductor to the center pin, the outer barrel is slid down against the body of the connector and crimped. The ground connection is made between the knurled surface (mentioned earlier) and the shield braid.

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,
