2. Stripping Wire Insulation
The wire insulation strip length is determined by referring to the figure
over. Set the correct length depending on the terminal used and strip the
insulation with a wire stripper, taking care not to damage the wire conductors.
Bundle the stripped wires in paper to protect the wire strands from bending or
fraying when transported.
The wire insulation stripping length is determined by the following equation:
1 = E + A/2 +
a
The correct value of
a
is between 0.5 and 1.0 mm.
Precautions:
(1) Take care to prevent damage to the wire strands, uneven strip lengths and
Insufficient cutting of the insulation.
(2) Strip the shielding cable as shown below:
(3) Do not excessively twist the conductors.
The end of the outer wire becomes uneven
as the wire is twisted. Trim the wire
approximately 2 to 3 mm to make it even
