Correct position for the
locator.
WIRE PREPARATION
1. Ensure that the wire to be crimped is within the specified range of sizes for the contact and
the crimp tool. Failure to use the specified wire size will result in poor quality crimps and
possible tool damage.
2. Cut the end of the cable to be terminated so that there is a clean cut end (Figure A). Strip
the cable to the correct length (Figure B) using a PTFE Wire stripper, preferably with
adjustable rotating cutter. This should result in all the strands laying together neatly. If the
lay of the strands is disturbed, it may be re-imposed with a slight twist.
