Thanks Steve (and all the others who responded as well.)
If the center pins of the connectors can be soldered then I will likely just
solder them on after crimping (with my .128 inch die) for added insurance.
I'll have to buy a few extra connectors and practice soldering them after
crimping, or I may just solder them on if it proves to be impractical to solder
them after crimping.
I don't think I have any follow up questions and thanks again for taking the
time to help me out.
Best regards
Mark

Mark, One of my affiliates that does
cable assembly/terminations indicates that the .128 is not a good die to
use, unless you tin the ctr conductor and find it to be a tight fit after
crimping. They tinn and then solder the center pin on. Finding the .116 die
and tool handle is possible but they don't know a source, other than what
Amphenol is recommending, quite expensive I'm sure. Given that you are not
in "production" mode, taking the time to tin, crimp and solder is certainly
a thorough way of obtaining a good electric/mechanical connection to either
of these cables.
I think (?) that you had a follow-up question, or that was somebody
else... I will find that again later and answer it.
