METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING INTERFACE BETWEEN COAXIAL CABLE AND CONNECTOR

摘要

A method of forming a solder joint between a coaxial cable and a coaxial connector includes the steps of: positioning a solder element between an end of an outer conductor of the coaxial cable and a connector body of the connector, wherein the connector includes an insulator with a suction passage; lowering the connector body and insulator onto a mounting structure; melting the solder element to form a solder joint between the outer conductor and the connector body, the solder joint including a lower surface formed by contact with the insulator and/or the connector body; and applying suction to the melting solder element from a suction source to reduce the formation of bubbles within the solder joint, wherein a suction path between the suction source and the solder element includes the suction passage in the insulator.
