Proper Cable Connection Using Anti-Torque Nut

Mini-Circuits 086-series HandFlex™ interconnect cables are constructed with an anti-torque nut

adjacent to the connector coupling nut. When used properly, this feature prevents possible

damage to the cable due to torqueing and twisting when tightening the cable connector.

To properly tighten the cable connector:

1) The cable connector includes a

coupling nut which rotates to fasten

the connector, and an anti-torque nut,

which is fixed to prevent the cable

from twisting during connection.

2) To properly tighten the cable, use a

standard 1/4-inch open end wrench

to brace the anti-torque nut.

3) Using a 5/16-inch open end wrench,

rotate the coupling nut clockwise to

tighten the cable connector.

*

NOTE: Mini-Circuits recommends using a 5/16-inch open end wrench calibrated to

8 inch-pounds maximum torque to prevent damage due to over-torqueing the connector.
