Description

Stray braid strands touching the center conductor during crimp Incorrect strip lengths — dielectric too short, exposes conductor to shield Wrong connector for RG-59: RG-59 has larger diameter (6.15 mm jacket) than RG-58 SMA connectors for RG-58 or RG-174 won’t fit RG-59 properly Over-crimping: Deforms foam dielectric → center conductor touches shield Connector pin pushed too deep — may touch shell internally Dielectric collapse — foam dielectric crushed, no insulation
