Hi TechNetters,

Does anyone have experience with the IPC requirements for crimping coax cables?

We received a shipment of crimped coax cables where the conductor crimp was not fully closed.  Therefore, a substantial section of braid was not captured by the conductor crimp.

If this were a regular wire, it would fail according to IPC for all product classes, but since it's a coax cable, I'm a little less certain.

I posted some pics here: https://plus.google.com/photos/104770679384262376856/albums/5802515956087514305?authkey=CPK-v7qT1MnrwQE

Could you advise?

Best,

Julien Meyer
