Why coax assemblies fail, and what we do about it
The usual causes are unglamorous: braid strands left long and shorting to center, inconsistent dielectric or center-conductor length, the wrong die on the ferrule, or an interface torqued by feel. Each one produces intermittent behavior that is expensive to diagnose once the assembly is inside a system.
Our answer is process rather than heroics. Prep dimensions are documented per cable and connector combination, tooling is matched and verified, torque is applied with calibrated wrenches, and every unit is inspected against IPC/WHMA-A-620 acceptance criteria before test.
